[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1689752, member: 94045"] Are you very low carb [USER=468168]@eggs11[/USER] ? If so, it sounds like a touch of physiological insulin resistance (PIR). This is [B]not[/B] the same as diabetic insulin resistance. Briefly, when we are low in glucose over a period of time our bodies try to save as much of the glucose as they can for the brain, so when our insulin tries to push this glucose in the cells, the cells reject it and it is sent to the brain. I don't really understand the science behind it, but it causes fasting and pre-meal levels to rise a little bit (not massively) but has no effect on how much we rise post meal. It is normally temporary, and can be stopped by eating a few extra carbs for 2 or 3 days. Or you can just ride it out if the increase isn't very much.
