[QUOTE="daddys1, post: 786311, member: 134619"] Hi All, [B]I would like to get this clear in my mind,[/B] why is it when we have [B]Newbies or even Oldies[/B] coming back to us with [B]very high Blood Sugars say 20+[/B] and they move very quickly onto a '[B]Low Carb Diet' say down to 50carbs per day,[/B] it does it seem to take a while, sometimes weeks before their [B]Pre Meal BS & Post meal levels drop to low levels, say under 7.5mmol/L[/B] I understand to some degree the [B]Fasting [/B]reading [B]may stay high[/B], as this is the [B]Liver giving up Glycogen[/B] to the levels it did [B]pre low carb diet[/B] and that adjustment may take a while to drop. [B]If we are Low Carbing, where is the Liver getting it's Glycogen reserves?[/B] I want to understand why, if we are not putting the Carbs in our diet for conversion to Glucose at each meal [B]why the numbers do not fall rapidly?[/B], apart from the fasting that is.
