Poll of the Day > Had high blood sugar (108) so went low carb and low sugar for the last month.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not really dieting or anything special. Just cut carbs and sugar, and the lbs have been shedding. Im 66. I probably eat too much meat now, but probably shedding some more lbs is good for me so gonna keep doing whats working and then eat healthier when the time comes. I need to start exercising too, I dont do much of that other than some short walks. Im not really following keto or anything as much as just having been worried about glucose levels, but I think this might be related to a keto diet.

But my blood levels also maybe indicated my kidneys arent doing as well as wed like, so I probably should lay off the meat sooner than later. Just barely out of normal range, but better to get to this stuff before its a serious issue. First blood test Ive had in likeover a decade. I really shouldve been getting them regularly.

,isn't 108 not high? Like those pin prick at home blood sugar tests?

A fasting glucose count of 100-125 is considered prediabetes. A little high, but low enough you may not need medical treatment if you can take care of the underlying causes through diet and exercise.

You may want to consider asking your doctor to do an A1C test. This shows your average blood sugar over the previous several months and gives a better indication of your health than a simple finger stick.
