Why do blood sugar, fasting glucose, and A1c (HbA1c) increase on a Carnivore, meat-based diet? (HbA1c is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months.) 

I share what and how to check if this is really happening, why it might be happening, and whether it's a concern or not.

I discuss the following:

  • Why blood sugar might be higher on a carnivore diet
  • Significance of A1C and blood glucose measurements
  • Importance of monitoring insulin and other markers
  • Recommendations for managing blood sugar levels on a carnivore diet
  • Use of continuous glucose monitors for tracking blood sugar
  • Personal blood sugar and health metrics on a carnivore diet
  • Studies on carnivores and blood sugar levels
  • Relevance of dolphin studies to human blood sugar levels
