[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1729131, member: 94045"] Hi, I see from your profile you are taking Gliclazide. Is this still the case, or have you stopped or reduced the dose? As [USER=41885]@lucylocket61[/USER] said, it could be any of those things. It may also be a touch of physiological insulin resistance (PIR) creeping in. This is a natural thing that happens when someone is low carb. The body thinks the glucose is a bit low, and as the brain and some other bits and bobs (red blood cells) need some glucose, the body tells all the other cells to reject any glucose there may be and save it for the brain. It is known as "glucose sparing for the brain". This has the effect of raising base levels and especially morning fasting. It is not the same as diabetic related insulin resistance.
