[QUOTE="TonyHancock, post: 1845913, member: 468382"] I have been mulling over this for a day or so and after another day of 6's in the morning lowering to low 5's in the evening after dinner, I wonder what impact a high carb meal would have for someone in a "adaptive glucose sparing" state*. Can the pancreas and body react to manage glucose or would it lead to a big BG spike? The author is using mindfulness (I'm classing yoga as mindfulness) to try and manage those higher FBG levels and this interests me. I am certain stress/lack of sleep/jetlag plays a big part in my higher BG levels. I need to be far more disciplined in taking time out to try some relaxation techniques. (That sounds like an oxymoron but you know what I mean!! :) ) [SIZE=2]*I'm not volunteering to find out.[/SIZE] :wacky: [/QUOTE]
