What an excellent explanation. You described the process very succinctly. I am going to copy and paste this into my personal notebook as I have been fretting about my own dawn phenomenon for 9 months since starting LCHF. There's no effect at the moment while I'm on my water fast, but I must...

Oh my dear Sir, grovel, grovel... please accept my humble apology, grovel, grovel... may I get up now please?

Nicely winkled out [emoji4] but myasthenia gravis is a RARE long-term neuromuscular condition leading to skeletal muscle weakness. I do not wish to protesteth too much but referencing this particular paper is tantamount to suggesting that people shouldn't eat sesame seeds because an allergic...

But... similar population trends are happening in Catholic countries where there is no pill (ish). Equality and progressive thinking surely come with education and affluence. Just my tuppence worth.

I understand that there is a strong correlation between child birth and social affluence. In my day (here we go again) many mothers didn't work, things were tight and (paradoxically) more kids. All changed in the 60s when wives started working and families could afford such luxuries as...

Sorry @Poncho. Bloody predictive text can be a pain in the proverbial.

Thank you @Pinching. I obviously respect a theory that recently gained a Noble prize, but for whatever reason one aspect of my health has dramatically improved. Apparently the prostate may be irritated by various things we eat and drink and therefore, by abstaining, I am purging myself of...

It is now Day 4. My weight is 70.6 kgs and my FBG is once again 4.4. Last night's reading was 4.5 so I appear to have stabalised at this level... certainly no hint of the usual dawn phenomena. Ketones were 3.5. I remain energetic and in no way hungry. Possibly information overload but there...

Good call suggesting magnesium glycinate. I take between 400 - 500 mgs per day in 2 divided doses and I haven't had a twinge of anything for yonks. Magnesium is also, according to some peer reviewed literature, effective in helping regulate blood sugar and, most essentially, good for the...

The Chinese have tried it with their one child policy resulting in an aging population and serious future economic repercussions. They are now actively encouraging people to have more children to redress this error.

Although I have been pre and borderline T2D for many years, I have only been keto-ing for 9 months and consequently have limited experience of its application and ultimate benefits. However, in a relatively short time I believe that I, like yourself, am well on the road to recovery and put it...

It's not a question of taking a stand... it is much more a case of viewing things from the company's perspective to see how your absence might have impacted the business. Sure, the director was rude, direct and unthinking but this is grist to the proverbial in a dynamic organisation. Witness...

It is the start of Day 3 and I have put my nose over the parapet for a weigh-in and blood measure. My weight is 71.6 kgs and my FBG is 4.4, the lowest I have ever recorded. Last night's bedtime reading was also 4.4 so, like @CherryAA my dawn phenomena effect appears to have vanished following a...

If you really want to mess up your career path then initiate a complaint... either internally or externally. However, if you want to be successful you have to be determined and must always appear to put the interests of the business before your personal convenience. I know that it's a *******...

Very well done and thank you for the graphs. It will be interesting to see if my own dawn phenomena drops off as yours has. I am presently writing from a mobile phone so I will open your post later on a tablet to take a better look at your results. BTW did you hit any walls during your fast?

Thank you everyone for your kind words of caution. Although I am unduly obsessive I will not continue past the point that I feel unwell. I am now well into day 2 and am feeling absolutely fine and up for it. Interestingly, my blood glucose yesterday bedtime was 5.2 yet 5.7 upon waking. By the...

Self flagellation is not one of my vices but I do have an obsessive personality which drives me down innappropriate routes on occasion. However this time I want to simply try something that might produce some long-lasting benefits as well as kickstart a new keto / intermittent fasting regimen...

That's fighting talk!

Perhaps this is an example of professional protectionism. Just imagine if the T2D pandemic could be curtailed by everyone eating the very foods that they have long excluded.

If common sense prevailed I guess you would be right, but it's less about weight loss and more to do with curbing my average BSL's trajectory. I also recall a posting of yours that touched on the possible regeneration of beta cells. The following paper gives me some hope that a mixture of keto...
