I'd have never lost any fat except for during sleep.

Thats another aspect that confuses me. I was probably spiking a lot eating a standard diet, but the only info I have on that is my doctor telling me I was pre-diabetic.Since switching low carb, I have been checking and I see a lot of 5 90 to 95 readings first thing after waking. I currently waiting until noon to eat, and by then it has gone down to around 85. If I check it after eating, it has gone down even more, sometimes to the high 70's. That seems backward, but I have been assuming the meal (low carb, so little or no BG spike) causes an insulin release which lowers the BG. |
