[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1923707, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Again for posterity: This morning, FBG=4.8. Three hours later after no food = BG 4.8 Oh this is a rare event. Like - has it ever happened before? Since diagnosis, naturally. I don't think so. No change, as in no rise of a morning without food. I don't think so! I take this to mean - no gluconeogenesis! After no dawn phenomenon. No erroneously creating and spurting out too much glucose due to a faulty signal that there isn't enough glucose there. This is wonderful, if that is what this means. For today at least! For me, a normal FBG means close to normal if not normal BGs the rest of the day. I mainly have impaired FBG, and some impaired glucose tolerance, that can be well controlled by eating LCHF, is my understanding of my own diabetes (officially called intermediate hyperglycemia). Interesting that this happened, this great morning BG event for me, after a big drop in weight, and particularly a couple of cms around my tummy. (Waist was the same.) I am not sure if that happened on the Nostramo/last VLCD experience. I will have to consult the notes to check it out. I didn't know enough then to know to test and look out for it though, so I don't think that information is in the notes. (I loaded up then at breakfast on the Nostramo. I hadn't had all the IFing, window-of-eating time periods, and no-food fasting experience that I have now.) Who knows if the 'normal FBG, no food and no BG rise in the morning' will be maintained over the next two weeks. (Hope so!) Or on the re-establishment of a normal energy from food intake. (Hope so!) Or for how long after that good BGs in the morning will be maintained, if at all. Lots of waits and sees. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
