Hi Lex,

Reading and following your developments on this forum, I would like to thank you for sharing this valuable information.

I have been taking 6 drops of Lugol's 5% for 5 days now and I'm noticing that my blood glucose appears to be affected. Before the Lugol's, it would usually be in the mid to high 90's in the afternoon, well after two of my three meals (keto / no carbs / 60% fat / 40% protein). But for three days now it has been in the 70's, dipping down to 67 today afternoon (Europe time).

Based on your observations on modifying your fat to protein ratios, I had attributed my relatively high blood glucose to my relatively high protein intake. While obviously too early to say, I'm beginning to wonder if the iodine may be affecting the amount of protein my body is converting to glucose. Or, if it could be causing glucose to be used or otherwise taken from the blood, through increased insulin sensitivity, perhaps.

I bring this up to see whether you might not be inclined to start monitoring your blood glucose again (assuming, of course, you currently aren't).
