Vets are finding that grain-free dog food is responsible for heart problems in dogs. I wonder if diets that people are on which are grain free may cause a similar problem.

Hi George,
by hypoglycemia do you mean below 70?

Reason i'm asking is because i began continuous glucose monitoring (i'm aware that these gadgets are often not very accurate). I've set the lower limit to 75 and some nights it gets lower. Don't think i have AF while sleeping but who knows as i'm not on a monitor.
Dr Attia says optimum is 85 +/-15 - is he right or too conservative?

Thank you, George. Reduces my confusion/understanding a bit
Enjoyed the link - seems to be saying what Drs Longo & Fung et. al. are saying?
During last night my glucose reading was 3.7m/mol for a few hours till i woke up - no sweating and feeling perfectly well and quiet heart. Have to double check with finger prick but they aren't that accurate as well.

George. Can you explain this some more? Or link me to something to understand this? I get this hot spike about three hours after falling asleep frequently if I have a late dinner or drink more than one glass wine in the evening. I'm not diabetic and don't have AFib at night. It's gotten to the stage where I have to eat a small meal early in the evening to avoid this. I'm just wondering if there's a way to avoid this in other ways?

I'm quite healthy otherwise, low A1c, good bloods and lipids etc., and physically active, good BMI, so I'd be really surprised if I was heading towards T2D. Some gerd issues though. I'll definitely read all your links.

That was me when I was having those issues.
Fasting bloods can be insensitive, so aren't perfect markers. Same with A1C. The idea is to see how the pancreas and the whole system performs under load, not at idle.

Unfortunately I'm in Ireland for the time being and can't do the blood test you recommend. How did you solve those issues for yourself? I know you went keto but was that a necessary solution?
