[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2307723, member: 6467"] [USER=529518]@Rocinante[/USER] I've now started a Libre (after some months coasting through pandemic times) and the first couple of nights were as expected - start low and climb gradually through until mid-day then drop dramatically. This in the past has been independent of what I eat or drink. Yesterday I just drank water until early afternoon and my BG still went up the same way. Today I was going to experiment by eating something with a high carb content first thing to see if it would provoke a peak followed by an insulin response, but for some reason I had a much lower rise so had to abandon the test. My initial theory is that I am producing too much glucagon which inhibits insulin production until I hit a point when insulin production kicks in anyway. High carb first thing in the morning to provoke an insulin response may prove or disprove the theory - or at least give me a working solution. However fitting a Libre has made me much more strict about my diet in the short term (and I have 5 more to use before the end of December) so I won't really have more idea for a few weeks, Dietary testing is very disruptive because you can't do anything on impulse and you have to severely limit the foods that you eat, and what you drink, to be able to connect food/drink with BG trends. Having to also limit certain foods to certain specific times is also a disruption. I just fancy a.................{hard stare from Libre sensor} [/QUOTE]
