    Liver dumping sugar

    Can anyone explain the process of your liver dumping sugar into your blood. I know it happens during the night and I have solved that problem with a late protein snack. Can it happen between breakfast and lunch if you don’t snack? Getting discouraged by huge bs even with a proper breakfast.

    I have been very successful cutting carbs and eating more animal protein. I have defeated the sunrise syndrome with a protein snack before bed. I didn’t want to eat animal protein but am afraid to up my complex carbs significantly to compensate. I have been vegan and eat 30 Grams of whole...

    Sunrise syndrome

    My morning sugar run quite high. 8 to as high as 10. Very upsetting. My Naturopathic Doctor said my snack at bed time was too small and incorrect (half an apple and cheese).

    When to test

    I have been advised to check sugar once daily. Morning was suggested but I suffer from ‘sunrise syndrome’ so the reading would be skewed upwards and not a true reflection of the number. I don’t normally test except for a 3 month A1C because up and down numbers upsets me and causes me to lose...
