[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2627970, member: 196898"] Hi. Welll done so far thats a good set of figures. We cannot diagnose on this forum. all I can say is that it takes a while to reset the glucose control thermostat to a lower average. at the moment your liver is probably working hard to maintain the bgl levels it had gotten used to over the past few years. Carni diet and ketosis may well help to reset the control line so that it feels happy with a lower average. The other method we can use is a soup and shakes diet (known here as The Newcastle Diet) which is an ultra low calorie crash diet. Trouble with the Newcastle diet is that any improvement gained by the diet can fall away unless one is very careful with the follow on support. Carni is a viable alternative, and is sustainable after the initial success. But it may take a bit longer to bed in. I am not sure if genetics defines the baseline but I believe one can shift it by diet. However, technically the beta cells are electrically driven and there will be differences in switching thrsholds which is why we are all different. I use a sulfonylurea med, and that changes the electrical levels in my beta cells to make them act as if the glucose levels are higher than they actually are, so the beta cells pump faster and for longer.
