Thanks for the article. It makes a lot of sense. I've only been back on LC since November, and my danged knee has meant I haven't been terribly active. (I know that physical activity is one way to deplete glycogen and other bodily glucose "reserves".) The article seems to be saying that my liver still has plenty of stored glucose... meaning these high morning readings will eventually fade as that storage is emptied.

So for now, I'm going to take these morning "spikes" as a good sign... that my (already diagnosed as fatty, along with the rest of my health mess) liver is just getting rid of what it needs to.

Right now, the only readings I'm having that fall outside the "normal" range are my morning/fasting ones.
