Given that the surgery is normally only performed (here in the UK) on those with a BMI of 40+ (lower in certain circumstances); I wonder if the same 95% would be achieved with patients whose BMI's were closer to 'normal'?

Hi I use the On-Call machine and strips. I buy them on eBay. Cheaper than other brands (still not cheap).

Fructose s not the only sugar in fruit......

Hi The glycemic index/load is all about how much a certain food raises blood sugar; the insulin index concerns itself with how much a certain food raise insulin levels - protein sn't benign where insulin is concerned: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_index

You may be interested in the following which discusses the very likely possibility that we can also make glucose from the fatty acids derived from triglycerides: http://blog.cholesterol-and-health.com/2012/01/we-really-can-make-glucose-from-fatty.html

Hi No one is trying to convince you of anything - in fact, it's the other way around Even if dietary fats/proteins did take 12 to 24 hours to fully digest (which they don't), it would make no difference to the level of gluconeogenesis, as there are plenty of stored/circulating substrates...

Up your protein (if you can). Dietary protein elicits an insulin response (approx. 50% that of glucose - fat approx. 10%); insulin is, sometimes, referred to as the 'fat storage' hormone. It has been noted that a lot of people who follow a High Protein Low Carb diet fail to lose weight, and...

It's the acetic acid. So save a few bob, and swig down ordinary cheapo malt or distilled vinegar http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full

Even some of us guys have it ;)

This article suggests the GNG is 'demand' driven, and not 'supply' driven: http://www.ketotic.org/2012/08/if-you-eat-excess-protein-does-it-turn.html Although, there is some evidence that increased protein = increased BS in ketonic dieters (possibly not via GNG though)...

Your BS may be lower if you took the protein in a more natural food form as opposed to the shake, or maybe split the drink into 2 or 3 servings and spread them out - not such a 'rush' of glycogen.

I concur (I really like that word for some reason :)). Readings tend to be at their lowest in the mornings - unless, of course, you're a shift worker, then.....

You really won't need as much protein as you think. Can't see a problem with that, apart from the upping the protein - you'd really be surprised at how little protein you actually need - even if you're training. Don't fret over GNG; it's a perfectly natural process. If your BS gets too high...

Only if you're happy with 6.3 They may be lower if you only found that you, in reality, only need half the drink - plus it can be extra stressful for the body to excrete masses of protein. Best thing to do is buy some 'pee strips' that measure protein (e.g. Item # 310256074799 On eBay UK)...

Or......... High glucagon levels (caused by, but not exclusively, high dietary protein) will up your blood sugar levels unless you do something about it....

Glucagon is secreted by the pancreas when you eat protein, experience low blood sugar, or have an adrenaline surge. The glucagon will stimulate your liver to make new glucose, and to release it (along with some stored glucose) into your blood stream; thereby, increasing your blood sugar levels...
