[QUOTE="Carpetsalesman, post: 2307693, member: 526513"] I'm four months into trying to bring my FBG down into the normal range. My experience is similar to yours but running about 1.5 lower on average. Long windows of fasting made absolutely no difference at all for me, in fact when I was actively trying to eat my last meal as early as possible (ie. nothing after 4pm - 15 hour fast) my FBG was then often at it's worst, up towards 7. On average I now wake up around 6.3, and I spend the day beating it down by eating sub-50g carbs to get it down below 5.5. It's a slog and I'd like to think at some point FBG will stop tracking upwards and start coming down but I'm no longer optimistic. Four months of <50g carbs a day, not overweight, active, etc., go to bed at 5.2 or something and every day it resets itself high like Groundhog Day. All you can do is keep going. Nobody knows why the liver does what it does or how to control it. And you can't "run your liver out of gas" because it's not making it's gas out of carbs. [/QUOTE]
