Dawn Phenomenon:

In this podcast, we're going to talk about testing glucose and ketone levels. Which one is more important to do?

When you test your glucose:

 • The lower the glucose, the higher the ketones

 • The higher the glucose, the lower the ketones

When you start out, you might have a blood sugar of around 80, but as you do ketosis, you'll find it goes lower and lower. If you're feeling great, you probably aren't developing hypoglycemia. 

But, there is something called the dawn phenomenon that happens for a few reasons. It may happen because of gluconeogenesis, you're prediabetic, you have insulin resistance, or you get a spike in cortisol.
