I think you are right that the blood glucose rise was from illness. It ended up being mumps! And I'm 60 so was really sick. Still all the great fasting meant blood glucose levels never went above 140. Now that I'm well levels are back to normal. They put me
on antibiotics which I didn't need as it was viral but, oh well. Taking vitacost probiotics am and prescript assist pm (these anaerobic probiotics really got hit), and homemade saurercraut during the day.
