so I wanted to create a video on this

situation that can occur where you have

slightly higher blood glucose but you’re

still in ketosis okay because normally

the way it works is you have high sugar

and low ketones haikyuu tones and low

sugar but what happens sometimes is your

blood glucose might go up but you’re

still in ketosis so why does that happen

but before I tell you that let me just

get into why you might have high sugar

doing keto okay

excessive protein for dinner tonight

could create a spike in blood sugar the

next day okay that’s one thing so make

sure you have a moderate amount of

protein the two car back reap you start

adding more carbs unknowingly and when

you have to kind of look at them and

reevaluate you’re like wow I’m doing too

many carbohydrates so that could be a

situation and then frequent meal so

you’re doing too many snacks

that’ll do it or your cortisol is too

high so when people go through stress

okay they’re gonna have higher levels of

cortisol the peak time of cortisol

happens about 8 o’clock in the morning

so if you’re actually checking your

blood glucose in the morning at 8

o’clock and find that it’s pretty high

it could be from the cortisol that is

being spiked because your body’s going

through some stress or something but

typically for everyone it’ll be slightly

higher it shouldn’t be that much but it

would be slightly higher nothing to

worry about but just make note of that

but here’s what happens when you

actually do a healthy keto plan and

you’re doing in a minute fasting you are

lowering insulin

now remember insulin suppresses blood

sugars it pushes blood sugars down so

now we don’t have the quantity of

insulin but we still may have insulin

resistance because that takes a while to

to correct in the body so if we have a

lower amounts of insulin and insulin

resistance your blood sugar might go up

a little bit more okay but you’re still

being ketosis so you might still like

show like 1.0 or 1.2 1.5 and your ketone

levels and have blood sugars that are 90

to 105

that’s totally normal

it’s just gonna take time for this to

heal and then you’ll see it’ll come down

it’s basically all that means it’s

you’re in a transition phase and there’s

nothing to worry about

so as long as you’re feeling good you

have a lot of energy and everything is

good I would not worry about it at all

but I just wanted to point out this fact

this can happen and it’s because the

insulin is going down but you still have

insulin resistance which does take a bit

to actually correct that all right
