Grats on your Trig/HDL ratio going to 0.92. That's fantastic.

My thoughts on the years

2022 I was just about to start carnivore after another failure to stick to keto. I can't eat just a small amount of carbohydrates

2024 I was exercising a lot, cycling and resistance training. But also the numbers are suspect as I fasted for 16 hours before the test. I don't know if that's a factor in tests on carnivores.

2025 I did very little exercise in the 3 months before the test

Blood sugar:

  • 2022 4.5,
  • 2024 6.1,
  • 2025 4.8

the upper limit is 5.4

I think the 2024 high value is the dawn phenomenon it was taken at 07:00, the 2025 value was at 3pm

Each of these tests were in winter, in the first week of July

Interesting indeed!

Ngl though, I saw winter and july and my northern hemisphere brain almost noped out my ear and fucked off to canada to cool off.

Blood sugar:

Did they do a hba1c?

These are really get numbers, thank you for sharing. I'm jealous of your tg/HDL ratio!

No, they only do hba1c when they suspect diabetes. No idea why the doctor didn't order it after the high reading
