Think of "normal" fasting blood sugar levels as more of a range rather than a single fixed point. On a typical carbohydrate diet, a fasting glucose level between 75 and 85 mg/dL is usually considered normal. Let's break down why those numbers change on a low-carb diet....
A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes. Oral glucose tolerance ...

Whole blood glucose levels remained within the normal range (70–80 mg/dL) due to gluconeogenesis during fasting. (e) Levels of vital metabolites remained essentially constant during fasting. Profiles of ATP, glutathione disulfide (GSSG), and NADP+ in whole blood are shown. (f) Scatter plot...
Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Reduces Blood Sugar Levels The fasting mimicking diet can positively affect insulin production and reduce blood sugar levels. In one study, normal blood sugar levels were maintained, and new insulin-producing beta cells were produced in mice on the fasting mimicking di...
