[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1763994, member: 196898"] Increasing insulin production may reduce bgl levels, but at the expense of adding weight.since this is what insulin tends to do. I would suggest that if this 800 cal diet is new to you, then your body may be fighting back to maintain the bgl levels at the old pre-diet level, and using stored glucose from its own internal stores (called Liver Dump). If this is what is going on, then using up these stores will deplete them and (1) reduce your weight, 2) lose the ability to liver dump, and 3) reset the bgl thermostat to expect the new lower bg's so the longer term effect is that both weight and bgl levels should drop, This is the main purpose of a calorie limited diet after all. and it sounds like it is just starting to work.
