[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2079028, member: 501623"] Low carb eating will raise fasting levels as your liver starts to empty itself while you are producing less insulin in response to the low carb diet. It's not a bad thing. Diet Doctor website has an article about it. I noticed the bigger drops in bs after a carb hit too. I thought it meant I was getting closer to having reactive hypoglycaemia. Which would not be a good thing. I think finding your levels not dropping much on an empty stomach is again to do with not having asked your body to produce insulin (in response to a carby meal) but by eating nothing, your liver will start to free up its stores and keep your level from dropping but your bs might rise if there is not much insulin floating around to deal with it or if the liver is so full it releases large amounts of glucose but being insulon resistant, your cells can't absorb it and so it stays in the blood... Something like that anyway. I would think the second scenario (empty stomach) is going to rid your liver of the excess faster and in the long run will lower the fasting levels eventually. Continuing to eat carbs won't allow the liver to empty its stores anywhere near as fast. [/QUOTE]
