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
