It does not add up.

Im another one who cant quite figure out the assosciation between v low carb and increased blood sugars - If I go below about 20g my sugars inexorably rise as do ketones, to the point (highest was 6.5ish for ketones) where I feel v unwell and have to increase carbs again - it then takes about 2 weeks of eating higher (40-50g carbs) to get things back on an even keel
Although I can share the experiece of the effect, sadly I cant help interms of any possible answer to the conundrum tho

similar here also and having muscle breakdown to produce glucose has led me to increase carbs at certain times in the day. the question I ask is was my diabetes due to fat in liver and pancreas or was it fat in the muscle cells if its the later then low carbing is not the answer
