One other point about FBG is back to that "dawn phenonemon". Does it get exaggerated with VLC? As some of you may have noticed by my posts, I am a very early riser, 4-5:30am. Almost always over 100 then. Taking a blood draw when the lab opens at 7am not much better, but wait to 9am, and it starts to look pretty good. Yesterday, was 105 at 5 am, 84 at 9 am (even after coffee with cream). Is this the normal extra pulse of glucose for a non-diabetic at dawn, or more so due VLC? Have no idea myself, just throwing out what I have noticed about timing. Doesn't explain my higher A1c.
Then again, it can be all back to VLC over the long term altering the gut microbiome for some people. But that opens a can of worms, or bacteria  |
I do't get up as early as you, but usually up by about 7 AM at latest. I also have morning FBG's over 100 EVERY time I measure. But, like you, they get into decent range a few hours later.
If 'they' ever do an FBG test on me for insurance, I'll make darn sure it doesn't happen within first few hours after rising.
