[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2121970, member: 216415"] My understanding of physiological insulin resistance is as follows..... When you have been eating LC for a while your pancreas "gets used to" a small demand for insulin. If you then have a sudden intake of higher carbs, the insulin response is too low and BG rises more than it would otherwise have done. Increasing your carbs to say 150g per day for a couple of days "resets" your pancreas, which is why it is recommended before OGTT. Your case doesn't seem to be PIR related as you are already on moderate carbs and you are [U]reducing[/U] your carb intake. [/QUOTE]
