[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 819410, member: 112692"] This could be a dumb question but I'll ask anyway ... when I low carb I tend to sit on 5.3 pretty much all day from fasting onwards when I eat every 2 to 2.5 hours. If I go from breakfast to lunch with no snack and only coffee w/cream inbetween (around 4 hours), my pre lunch can be up to high 6's which I assume is a bit of a liver dump. Question is - is it better to eat the mid morning snack, release more insulin but keep bloods stable or put up with the higher levels from the liver dump and preserve more beta cells? See, I said it was a dumb question! [/QUOTE]
