[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1035764, member: 150927"] Just a passing note on the possibility I have witnessed an increase in insulin sensitivity since the past year of VLCDing, then LCHFing, and IF/periodic fasting in the last six months. I don't usually have such a 'test' provided by life, but yesterday I threw BG caution to the wind (OK! It happens!) and ate two pieces of garlic bread - yeah the fullblown 'bag of glucose' kind! PLUS - a fairly normal slice of bought - decidedly un-LCHF - pavlova in a 'day after a party with normal' food' supper with family. I also ate about eight cherries, and about four pieces of stevia sweetened chocolate - but I do believe the pav and baguette were the true glucose carriers there! With fear and anguish I tested my BG a couple of hours later - 9.4. And three hours after that (6 hours after eating) - 6.4. FBG today (the day after carb blow-out) - 6.3. (Pretty normal prediabetic range in other words.) Post-late lunch - 5.9. Typical of me to have a highish DP FBG, and followed by pretty good post-meal readings as an LCHF-eating diabetic. I don't have 2014 BG readings to compare with, on hand, but this appears to me to be a good sign of increased insulin sensitivity that I can have a couple of (delightful it must be said!) 'glucose bags', and come back down to my normal in that amount of time. Bearing in mind I was diagnosed with an HBA1c of 93 mid 2014. My BG readings weren't 'coming back down' to much back then! (with an average BG reading of 14.4 or something, at diagnosis.) No wonder I don't like thinking of BG averages! 14.4? Good grief! (I'm thinking - 7.1 - which it is now on average apparently, at least for the prior 3 months - seems still way too high. ) Thinking of Jenny Ruhl's damages graph. But her graph doesn't deal in averages, but fasting blood glucose, and 2 hours post meal BG. [ATTACH=full]17304[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
