Why my PP Blood glucose is much lower than Fasting ?

[namaha]

I am happy to post my Blood glucose numbers and blood insulin levels:

Fasting blood glucose 110 mg/dL

Fasting Blood insulin 6 miu/L

2 hours PP blood glucose 84 mg/dL

2 hours PP blood insulin 11 miu/L

This is the first time that I got my PP below 100.

I am concerned about my PP being very low though I took 40 almonds and 100 gm full cream yogurt and100 gm guava. I took 850mg metformin before breakfast.

I am trying to follow a strict LCHF since last one month. But i still take 60 gms -70 GM's carbs per day.

PPBS can go up to 140 mg/dL which is normal.

Fasting blood sugar should be less than 100 mg/dL.

You have taken metformin 850 mg before breakfast. Metformin suppresses glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity. This may cause lowering of postprandial blood sugar.

You should take metformin 500 as your pp is low.fasting level is ok up to 130 and pp up to 180.Lower levels are more risky than medium level ie 110 and 140.
