[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1615197, member: 410240"] This is what I think is going on. The [B]gliclizide [/B]results in your body creating more [B]insulin[/B]. The 40g [B][COLOR=#ff0000]carbs [/COLOR][/B]are converted into blood [B]glucose [/B]when you eat them. The [B]insulin [/B]forces the [B]glucose [/B]into your [B]liver[/B], where they are stored as [B]glycogen [/B]and [B]fat [/B](hence carbs => fatty liver) Before you wake up in the morning, your body produces [B]cortisol[/B]. [B]Cortisol [/B]results in your liver converting the [B]glycogen [/B]back into [B]blood [B]glucose.[/B][/B] Normally someone's body will then produce more [B]insulin[/B], the results in the [B][B]blood glucose [/B][/B]being stored a glycogen in their [B][COLOR=#ff0000]muscles[/COLOR][/B]. This process does not work for us, due to our muscles having [B]insulin resistance[/B] and our bodies no longer being able to produce very high levels of insulin. Hence increased blood glucose in the morning. The words in red are what you can change, so, for example, resistance training and HIIT makes our muscles respond a lot better to insulin. [/QUOTE]
