[QUOTE="DevGuy, post: 2437178, member: 547186"] Thanks for all your advice, everyone. This is what I'm going to try: - Move my ADF feeding time to 12pm - 5pm from the current 4pm-9pm. This won't be easy, as it'll be smack in the middle of my work hours, but I have a hunch that this experiment *may* bring down the higher readings the next morning. - Reduce carbs some more. Mainly by replacing milk with hard cheese, and removing pistachios from the mixed nuts part of my diet. At all other times - on full-fast days and postprandially - my readings are normal. This morning-after-feeding-evening blip is the only irritant at this time. As for fears expressed by some on this thread (and elsewhere on these forums in response to my requests for information/advice) that I may be starving myself: I come from a family of light eaters who are all lean, and there are no diabetics on either side of the family. My Mom, for example, is 5'11" and weighs 52 kilos.. My diabetes is probably traceable to a severe and prolonged tropical Hepatitis A infection in childhood, which did my liver no good. Also a significant motivator is this extract from a news article after the actor Tom Hanks was diagnosed with T2D 9 years ago: [I]"My doctor said, 'Look, if you can weigh as much as you weighed in high school, you will essentially be completely healthy and will not have type 2 diabetes.' And then I said to her, 'Well then I'm going to have type 2 diabetes because there is no way I can weigh as much as I did in high school." "I weighed 96 pounds in high school," Hanks added, calling his teenage self "a very skinny boy."[/I] I was that skinny boy, too. [/QUOTE]
