So It's been about 5 months now of eating this way, and I just started taking cynomel & cynoplus a week ago.
For the last few nights I've been having to get up to use the bathroom 3-5 times. I checked my (fasting) blood sugar level this morning, it's a little too high (6.2mmol/L, that's 111.7 for US readings). I had always suspected insulin resistance, but my blood glucose levels had been okay in the past (and I've had a lot of tests). Why could my levels be getting worse eating this way? I'm not having starch (but recently found some masa harina in hopes to bake -- maybe I shouldn't), having a good amount of carbs (~250g/day from OJ, sugar, honey, some fruit), and protein (~90/day from milk, eggs, gelatin, sometimes meat), daily aspirin, paper bag breathing, sunlight, liver, coconut oil, carrots, salt (~1-2tsp/day - I don't like salt), uhhh and probably some other thing's that I'm forgetting.
I think that my stress hormones go up at night as soon as I turn the lights off, as I go to bed sleepy but then 'wake up' and take a good couple of hours to get to sleep. My most recent cortisol test showed a level on the high end of normal, but I recently had another (am) one done and will have the results shortly.
Before I found RP I was very low calorie/almost 0 carb for about 10months. I then gained a heap of weight when I started eating Peat-ish foods. I don't know if I'm still gaining, but if I am at least it's slowed. My blood glucose levels were always fine in the time that I gained heaps of weight. Is it possible that my blood glucose is now rising to stop my body from storing it? Or is this wishful thinking, and eating this way really isn't working for me? I know if I tell my doctor, she'll just tell me to cut back on the sugar -- but should I be?
Thanks for any help. I'm just a bit worried...
