[QUOTE="daddys1, post: 786533, member: 134619"] Hi Daibell, Thank you for replying, It does appear when we have someone who is overweight, maybe Obese, that it does take longer for the sugars to drop, but I want to know why. My understanding is, if you go on a Low Carb Diet say 50 carbs per day, they say you start to move into ketosis, where your body slows or stops using 'Carbs converted to glucose' and starts using fat, turning the fat to ketones and the body using the ketones for energy, I don't fully understand it but I think I'm correct that the Glycogen stores also become depleted in the liver, which would also suggest that there should not be the spikes we see like the 'Dawn Phenomenon', so I am not certain as to how or when you are fatter than the norm why the numbers would take longer to drop.
