[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2304814, member: 525839"] There are two phases to insulin response. The 1st phase is mobilising stored insulin. It stops blood glucose rising much immediately after eating. The 2nd phase insulin response is production of new insulin and takes longer. Your 1st phase response is weak because of lost beta cells. Your 2nd phase response produces insulin that ultimately causes blood glucose to plummet. When it gets under 4, the liver turns glycogen into glucose, puts it into circulation, and blood glucose returns to normal. This blood glucose roller coaster effect is not good for various reasons, one of which is the beta cell destruction it causes. This in turn causes progression of the diabetes. Restoring 1st phase insulin response would require restoring lost beta cells, and there is currently no way to make that happen. This is why avoiding food that spikes blood glucose in the first place is the most sensible way to handle it. [/QUOTE]
