[QUOTE="Mr Whippy, post: 1437733, member: 28538"] I wasn't aware of that - Interesting indeed. You have obviously done more digging than I have. :) And it might explain something . After my first FMD session, I saw improvements coming in between the 3rd and 8th day after resuming normal eating. Then it levelled off. However about 2 1/2 weeks in there was another drop in BG's which I wasn't expecting. However now you have mentioned it - on the 18th March I was on a "Lad's day out" in which was consumed several pints of fine ale and large helpings of Chinese buffet food of the type not normally recommended by diabetes specialists. ;) Ahem..... Cough .... BG's on my Libre were high for several hours including overnight and peaked at 26 mmo/L (Though the Libre does tend to read on the high side, it would probably have been around 20 on my meter I guess) A day or two later I had to re-tweak my basal rates down slightly. Coincidence ? Perhaps ? ---------------------------------------------- It does seem fairly obvious when you think about it that mother nature isn't going to equip you with the ability to make large quantities of insulin by default if your body does not require it, It's probably analogous to muscle, if you exercise it then you build it up. In which case I might do my best to keep decent BG's for the next week (till my 8 days post diet #2 are up) then run my BG's high for a few hours overnight (Large curry & naan should do it) to see if that helps. If not, then at least I've enjoyed the curry ! Dave. [/QUOTE]
