[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1854898, member: 277199"] I agree that skipping dinner is typically socially difficult for many people. But I find that I don't need to skip dinner all the time. Only when I want to bring my fasting glucose back to < 100mg/dl. Then skipping a couple of dinners in a row is sufficient. And to maintain the fasting glucose at < 100mg/dl, I need to ensure either early or carbs lite dinner. From my Libre monitoring, it was clear that a day of high carbs meal will result in higher fasting glucose for a couple of days...the impaired metabolic system is simply unable to clear the excess glucose. [ATTACH=full]27976[/ATTACH] Here is a chart, a couple days later inspite of a high carbs breakfast, the carbs lite lunch and very lite dinner allows the body to mop up the excess glucose...notice how the night time glucose dips to < 5.5 mmols. [ATTACH=full]27977[/ATTACH] When we go sufficiently low carb for a period, the liver will empty its glycogen and fats store. It becomes more insulin sensitive and is able to stop its excessive glucose output in the morning. The idea is fairly simple. For the past 3 years, I typically exercise less than 1000 steps a day. So it was not exercise that improves my insulin sensitivity. [/QUOTE]
