[QUOTE="Keith_Simpson, post: 1980949, member: 401116"] I also have high fasting glucose levels which I believe is because the liver releases glucose when you haven't eaten for a long enough period. Essentially the alpha cells in the pancreas send a message to the liver to release glucose but when you eat, hormones are secreted that suppress these alpha cells & so stop telling the liver to release glucose. I am type 2 but with insufficient insulin production to deal properly with what my liver releases. I found the only ways to get my fasting level down was by either eating, which first puts my level even higher but subsequenly it is then lower OR in fact I now use insulin which provides far better control than any medication.
