Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 1127503" data-attributes="member: 196898">Thanks.  I am still wondering about why my latest change had such a dramatic result.  I have been regularly having 2 slices of toast to break my fast, as this stopped a liver dump later in the day.  I tested this meal, and established that it only raised my bgl by less that 1 mmol/L  I kept it going even as my bgl averages fell, because it is one thing that I repeat, so should not interfere with my main bgl monitoring.But i think I have established my personal fat trigger level.  Previously I could see that although my bgl averages had reached prediabetic levels, they had stopped falling.  i also found out that i had no ketones registering, so I was probably not going into ketosis, and leaving me with higher than expected triglycerides.Dropping the second toast slice had, I think, triggered ketogenic switchover.  I am definitely seeing Dawn Phenomenon which I am convinced is the protein metabolising to glucogen via gluconeogenesis, which only really  occurs during keto mode</blockquote>
