Hello everyone ,
This is my first post on the forum . I tried to search for similiar topics but didnt find any solutions to my problems .
Ive had bad BGs last 2 years and was thinking of a way to fix this problem .
I started to work out with my own bodyweight back in december 2017 . After a month I started to hit the gym on regular basis - strength training . This was fixing the problem and I was feeling much better - more energy and positive thinking . Also my BGs were on spot 5-7 mmol after meal 4-6 mmol before meal . So I started to attend gym more frequently and noticed increase in muscle mass . Started a healthy diet - fish , chicken , vegetables and fruits .
Everything was ok until middle of march when my blood glucose just cant go under 10 . I usually eat 60g carbs main meal , after two hours I eat another 30g carbs - this worked until half of march . The carb ratios are set for my insulin which acts for 4-5 hours .
Am I having some weird version of Liver dump since I increased my protein intake (chicken and fish , once a day whey protein shake) ? Becaose Ive been reading about gluconeogenesis , is this my case ? Should I decrease the income of protein ?
E.g. my morning blood glucose is 7 mmol . I inject my usual ammount of insulin . I dont even have to eat anything and my BG is 10-14 after 2 hours . Can someone explain this how is this possible when there is insulin and no carbs ? (I try to avoid actually eating something in the morning becaose I am afraid of hyperglycemia)
So my final question is . Am I missing something in this equation ? Does more muscle mass mean more carb intake ? Or less carb intake ?
Thank you and have a nice evening
