Why wear a continuous glucose monitor?

 

Too much glucose in your bloodstream is toxic, too little is fatal. Our bodies prioritize by keeping us sick and alive (with obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes) in the former condition, and manufacturing glucose in the latter. Because of this, too much blood glucose is common, too little blood glucose is rare.

 

A continuous glucose monitor is another - provides minute by minute information about how the body handles this tightly controlled metabolite. Currently, these are used for people with diabetes (unfortunately a greater % of the population), eventually, as is being discussed, this technology may be embedded in the Apple Watch.

 

In terms of the product, I am fascinated by the color combinations chosen - the blue and yellow are clearly a complementary pair, making the device itself a color harmony.

I still have a box of Minimed sensors left over. They expired a year ago but I thought I'd give one a try to see if it still worked. Yes, indeed it does! I forgot how handy it is to have my CGM right on my pump; really kind of nice not to have to keep track of that huge Dexcom receiver.

There are many options available allowing patients with diabetes to monitor and manage their glucose levels. The Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) shown here includes a glucose level sensor and transmitter, a data receiver which displays the patient's glucose levels, and an insulin delivery system (pump), which administers doses of insulin decided by the patient and their health care provider. Patients should always make insulin and other diabetes dosing decisions using a blood glucose level result. Insulin may be delivered by pill, syringe, pen, or pump.

Grass Fed Rib Eye Steak cooked using Sous-Vide method.

 

100 grams of Rib Eye has 11 grams of monounsaturated fat, about the same amount of monounsaturated fat as there is in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 1 tablespoon of olive oil has 1.4 grams of saturated fat, a little more than in 1 slice of bacon (1.1 grams saturated fat). There is no food that has only one kind of fat. Rib Eye is a fattier cut of meat; a sirloin cut has 4.8 grams of saturated fat, or 3 tablespoons of olive oil’s worth.

 

We also now know there is no evidence that replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates is better for human health, probably the opposite is the case.

 

And, as expected, ingestion of the stake resulted in no rise in blood glucose, as tested with a continuous glucose monitor (glycemic index of steak =0 )

These are delicious low carbohydrate, healthy fat pretzels which I made as an alternative to the tasty ones served at our favorite local beer garden in Washington, DC.

 

They have the magical property of not raising blood sugar, because they have no grains (refined or whole) and no industrial vegetable/bean/seed oils.

 

Actually, no magic involved, it’s the science we learned in medical school, we are just now applying it :). Enjoy in good metabolic health.

Grass Fed Ribeye Steak cooked using Sous-Vide method.

 

One steak (291 grams) has 28 grams of saturated fat, the same amount of saturated fat as there is in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and more monounsaturateed fat (31 vs 20 grams). There is no food that has only one kind of fat.

 

We also now know there is no evidence that replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates is better for human health, probably the opposite is the case.

 

And, as expected, ingestion of the stake resulted in no rise in blood glucose, as tested with a continuous glucose monitor (glycemic index of steak =0)

NOVA Food Classification Group 1: Unprocessed or minimally processed foods: “Minimally processed foods are natural foods altered by processes such as removal of inedible or unwanted parts, drying, crushing, grinding, fractioning, filtering, roasting, boiling, pasteurisation, refrigeration, freezing, placing in containers, vacuum packaging, or non-alcoholic fermentation. None of these processes adds substances such as salt, sugar, oils or fats to the original food.”

 

NOVA Food Classification Group 4: Ultra-Processed Foods“industrial formulations made entirely or mostly from substances extracted from foods (oils, fats, sugar, starch, and proteins), derived from food constituents (hydrogenated fats and modified starch), or synthesized in laboratories from food substrates or other organic sources (flavor enhancers, colors, and several food additives used to make the product hyper-palatable). Manufacturing techniques include extrusion, moulding, and preprocessing by means of frying.”

See: Part 8: Wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor as a non-diabetic Physician: more testing of carbohydrate responses in a fat-adapted human – Ted Eytan, MD

 

More experiments, usually unintentional….

 

Impact on glucose using a continuous glucose monitor after ingestion of low carbohydrate chocolate chip cookies, combined with distilled spirits (no added sugar) and healthy fat meal, in a fat adapted, #LMHR individual. As the chart shows, there is a more profound hygoglycemic excursion, likely due to reduced liver gluconeogenesis competing with alcohol processing. Interstitial glucose excursion is also more pronounced in probably insulin sensitive person on an low-carbohydrate, healthy-fat diet. The hypoglycemia was asymptomatic.

 

There are no added sugars (with perhaps a small impact from the low-carbohydrate chocolate chips) and no industrial vegetable oils used in the cookies themselves.

 

Feel free to check my work. Wondering, @RightHandSiobhan @DaveFeldmanKeto, if this situation is similar to a mini-glycogen storage deficit created by alcohol competition for liver resources in #LMHR…

 

Reminder/Disclaimer

 

I am not interested in telling other people what to eat. However, I realize that I enjoy and can sustain a real food, healthy fat, low carbohydrate eating pattern quite easily, with good results.

 

While I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic, I'm awed by the ability of the human body to regulate itself and the ability of humans in which regulation is compromised to achieve their life goals.

Grass Fed Rib Eye Steak cooked using Sous-Vide method.

 

100 grams of Rib Eye has 11 grams of monounsaturated fat, about the same amount of monounsaturated fat as there is in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 1 tablespoon of olive oil has 1.4 grams of saturated fat, a little more than in 1 slice of bacon (1.1 grams saturated fat). There is no food that has only one kind of fat. Rib Eye is a fattier cut of meat; a sirloin cut has 4.8 grams of saturated fat, or 3 tablespoons of olive oil’s worth.

 

We also now know there is no evidence that replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates is better for human health, probably the opposite is the case.

 

And, as expected, ingestion of the stake resulted in no rise in blood glucose, as tested with a continuous glucose monitor (glycemic index of steak =0 )

Recipe time - coincidentally on National Pretzel Day (April 26)!

 

These are delicious low carbohydrate, healthy fat pretzels which I made as an alternative to the tasty ones served at our favorite local beer garden in Washington, DC.

 

They have the magical property of not raising blood sugar, because they have no grains (refined or whole) and no industrial vegetable/bean/seed oils.

 

Actually, no magic involved, it’s the science we learned in medical school, we are just now applying it :). Enjoy in good metabolic health.

But not before enjoying these Low Carbohydrate, Healthy Fat Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling (which I know I need to be more generous with in the next batch, old habits …. )

.

There’s no added sugar, no vegetable oils, no grains (refined or whole), only real fat

.

In comparison, a Dunkin Donuts (breakfast) banana chocolate chip muffin has 11 teaspoons of sugar, nearly equivalent to a (dessert) Starbucks vanilla buttercream cupcake with 8 teaspoons of sugar. Ouch.

As expected, no rise in blood glucose levels following ingestion of these muffins.
