[QUOTE="barrym, post: 404062, member: 70535"] I know from years of supporting IT forums, and motorcycle forums how easy it is to inadvertently answer posts with "teaching grandma to suck eggs" replies. I know I've done it. And without offence, these are examples. I do keep records, the like of which you probably wouldn't believe. I have spreadsheet data of a minimum of 4 BG readings a day, every meal in detail with carb content, the meds taken and when, exercise done. I keep daily and rolling averages along with graphs of the BG readings with trend lines. I think it's safe to say I have a pretty good handle on the data side :D Obsessional some might call it. The problem is that I've had good control of midday and evening pre-meal, but night and morning have been too high. My post prandial is too high also. All this I know and so do my DNs. What we are struggling to do is make any difference (in the right direction). To that end I have been trying a low carb diet. I was always eating a reduced carb one, maybe 150-200 per day. I could do you a graph :lol: . My question is a theoretical one. If I reduce my carb intake, and hence BG avilability, will my liver think I'm being starved and dump sugar to compensate? I hope this doesn't sound ungrateful to the previous posters, it not meant to at all. I'm very grateful to the huge amount of info I have gleaned here from all the participants. BTW if anyone would like a copy of the spreadsheet I'll happily provide it, although it really isn't anything that clever. If too many ask, I'll see if I can stick it online somewhere. Ever the optimist, or just plain daft. Who knows? [/QUOTE]
