[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2054722, member: 401801"] Hi again, Yeah... When I started out I ate every 3 hours, six meals a day, as I was basically told the same thing. Now I eat twice a day and my HbA1c is better, so are my energy levels, and my fatty liver disease has gone away. I never am out of range anymore, it's non-diabetic numbers all the time. Not to mention the high cholesterol and high fasting bloodsugars in the morning have improved. You see, liver dumps get less when [I]you deplete the stores[/I]. If you just keep adding to them they'll never go down. Everyone and their gran gets a liverdump in the morning. Our bodies help us get started before the food comes in, it's normal. How much depends on what your body is used to (high bloodsugars? Then your liver will dump till it thinks it's where it should be, because that's what it's used to. Lower bloodsugars? Then it's lower. :) ) The rest of the day, not so much. Maybe to correct low bloodsugars, but that's about it, unless your overmedicating with the Januvia and hitting hypo levels (of lower than 4). In any case, you might want to read Dr. Jason Fung's The Diabetes Code. I read a bunch of books before his, but he made an actually non-dry read out of it, and made sense.
