[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 574145, member: 6467"] Good news is your numbers are improving. Have you had a look at the Newcastle Study? This includes a suggestion that everyone has their personal 'body fat threshold' above which BG control can go wrong. This applies to people of 'normal' weight and one suggestion is that it is better to have your weight in the middle of the 'normal' range. I am working on this at the moment and my BG control may be very slowly improving. Fasting reading have been down the last few days but I don't know yet if this will be stable long term. If your BG goes up a lot after exercise this may be your liver dumping stored glucose into your blood, but then being 'resistant' to the insulin telling it to stop dumping once your BG had gone up. I think I have this but in a much more minor way - I can see a rise in BG after quite a long session of exercise. I am hoping that if I strip the fat from my liver and pancreas, and from around my internal organs, that my insulin resistance will go away (or at least be less of an issue). (How do you describe that? If you say resistance has improved it sounds as though you have more!) Your BMI looks to be around 24.5 which is scraping the top edge of a 'normal' BMI so you may (no promises) see better numbers if you lose some weight. Eating less may also improve your numbers. Your brief description of your diet looks to be low cab but more high protein than high fat. It might be worth taking another look at LCHF and trying to eliminate some of the protein and bump up the fats. Best of luck LGC [/QUOTE]
