[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1775425, member: 94045"] [USER=472733]@jasmindesylva[/USER] It is very likely what is known as a liver dump. Putting it very simply, when our body detects we need extra energy for whatever reason (and fasting is one of them) it will dump some of its stored glucose into the blood stream. This happens to everyone, including non-diabetics, but when our pancreas and insulin works normally, enough insulin is secreted to push this glucose into the cells for energy. In T2 diabetes, our insulin is restricted from working properly because our cells have become resistant to it, so the liver dumps but the insulin doesn't clear it. [/QUOTE]
