The liver, Protein and low carb
Type 2 here. Been strict low carb (always in ketosis) since day one of diagnosis in May '06.
I feel that no 'paradigm' seems to explain diabetes well. Low carbers need to talk more about how the liver (i am told) produces glucose from protein.
How do i reduce glucose levels that are NOT caused by eating carbohydrates. No one TOLD me the liver produces sugar. All low carbers talk about is carb carb carb.
so.. how do i use the low carb WOE to reduce the sugar my liver produces. Do i need to eat 80% fat? 100% fat? The body CANNOT produce sugar from fat.
It is the act of eating ALONE that seems to raise my blood sugar. it might be true if i was OFF low carb my levels would be higher still but I am not happy with a BG high level of 180-200 while averageing 140-160 ( no drugs at the moment)
HELP
