[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1773233, member: 408573"] It won't do a great deal to lower your blood glucose levels either. It is prescribed to curb what is known as liver dump aka Dawn Phenomena. Our liver secretes glucose at or around dawn to give us the energy to start our day. It also secretes during the day if we go a few hours without eating and this is completely normal. The problem for us with T2 is that our livers do not secrete they splurge out glucose too much and too long raising the levels of glucose in our bloodstream. This is because of liver cells becoming insulin resistant and possibly because the messages between a fatty liver and a fatty pancreas get 'lost'. This is an oversimplified version of events. Weight loss doesn't just apply to the weight you can see around the waistline it also applies to fat in and around the organs. [/QUOTE]
