Thanks for that Lamont. Low carb works for me I used to have two hypos/day! Now I have had none for over two years.Hi Derek,
Glad you're okay!
It all depends on how much the insulin resistance interferes with the insulin response.
If your first insulin response is poor due to whatever reason, the second will almost counter and overshoot the amount of glucose still there.
The amount of insulin should be balanced to the amount of glucose produced but it isnt.
Getting a lower insulin resistance will help obviously.
And if you low carb the background insulin and just the poor insulin response should be enough to cope and stop the extra insulin response.
The more time without excess insulin and the lower your insulin resistance is, the first insulin response should be better at coping with the glucose derived from the food you eat.
Hope that helps.
But, (isn't there always!)
Other hormones and the likes of beta cells, glucagon, glycogen, your liver and meds will give you different cocktail of circumstances. And what we eat and drink!
Best wishes mate.
regards
Derek
