    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
