Does LCHF make you more sensitive to carbs?

[QUOTE="Nexus6, post: 1888116, member: 443439"] Hey all, Just a question regarding LCHF and how it "changes" your system. I still have some more testing to do before formal diagnosis, but am most likely "pre"diabetic. Staying quite LC and my glucose readings stay nice and low as long as I stay LC, but I have noticed (for example this morning)...got to work and there was pumpkin pie someone brought it. Ate a fairly small slice and also thought I would take the opportunity to do some BG testing as well. At first bite (10:27am) was at 5.4. At 11:05am, jumped to 10.9. At 12:09, was 8.8, and now at 12:27 I am at 5.9. So I guess my question is, like I have seen mentioned for the OGTT, you should eat carbs for 2-3 days beforehand as the readings may be artifically high. Is measuring BG after being LCHF as a "test" for the rarely eaten sugary food a waste of time? Is it a meaningless measurement, or is it just confirming sensitivity to carbs? Not sure that all makes sense... [/QUOTE]
