Sara:
I’ve never seen this occur before. You didn’t just eat a high-glycemic sugary snack like a candy bar before the test, did you? ?♂️ I thought not but figured I might ask because if you had very high blood glucose levels, metabolism in all your cells will be disposed to shift to using that glucose for fuel because glycolytic metabolism, even “aerobic glycolysis,” uses less oxygen than the breakdown of fats for energy.
From what you say, when you started exercising, your fat/carbs ratio improved and began to look more normal. That’s good news. But if I were you, I would monitor your RMR or even blood glucose levels. I have no affiliation with this company, but I do know some athletes that use this device for monitoring RMR, It s not cheap, but probably cheaper than a few trips to the lab.
I hope this helps.
