Im dieting for a contest, currently about 14 weeks out.
My fasted glucose is still around 90 while only on 200g carbs, i was around 450g carbs in the offseason and didnt have a glucometer. I have already been dieting for 8 weeky.
Anyways the thing is I vape and I vape a fvckn lot.
Just found out my morning glucose is 92 but after a few puffs and not eating anything it goes up to 100.
I use 2mg/ml nic juice and probably vape around 15ml daily so 30mg of nic total. Very sweet flavors. Im still losing body fat at a pretty good rate.
So my questions are:
1) If im gonna start doing fasted cardio then i guess vaping before it goes out of the windows since it raises blood sugar, right?
2)Is having a higher blood sugar all day long hindering my fat loss even if my glycogen is depleted and im in a deficit?
3)Will using less nicotine or non sweet flavors have any effect on lowering the impact on blood sugar since the juice is in glycerine and thats basically a sugar alcohol.
4) Does diet soda raise your blood sugar too since its sweet? Has anyone measured it?
Thanks for the responses guys.
Edited for more context: I eat all my carbs post workout at about 10pm and i measure my blood glucose at 9am.
I have a fat free greek yoghurt with a protein shake and 35gs of cereals around 9pm and then 185g of rice with chicken at around 9pm. My last meal is chicken only at around 1:30am. Is it possible the food is still digesting and thats why my blood glucose is still pretty high in the morning?
