Hi all,
Can someone tell me,if you have a sleep in the afternoon, for about an hour then you take a bg finger prick test, do you get a mini liver dump?.
My levels, which go down during the day, suddenly go up after a sleep, not by much, but I haven't eaten anything!.
Thanks
 
Yes. according to the Krebs Cycle, when you stop major activity, the glucose in your blood gets stored locally in the muscle instead of being used for movement. When you wake it does not take much to fill the blood with glucose in readiness for exercise because it is already there ready, so the liver is possibly anticipating a higher demand like it does wth the Dawn Phenomenon. so you have charged up the battery by sleeping, and waking has to kick start the machine again.
