interesting #metabolic question raised by my #cgm data
glucose fluctuates around in the low to mid 120s (mg/dl) even overnight
HYPOTHESIS: #insulinresistance or beta cell dysfunction (#t2d) is preventing me from clearing glucose
EXPERIMENT: take a walk to activate direct uptake by muscles
RESULT: glucose drops to ~80. success!.....but then over the next 60 min it rises back to 120-130.
"you weren't done digesting when you walked". this is happening after meals but also overnight.
My current hypothesis is that my "glucose set point" is just set a little high bc of my broken wrist.
I'm not sure that idea really works, at least not in the obvious way. Cortisol suppresses insulin but it doesn't stimulate more glucose release (I don't think). But there could easily be another mechanism
