[QUOTE="CrumblingWall, post: 2085624, member: 494805"] Well, we just had confirmations from way less neurotic people in first page that they feel unwell with highish glucose, not diabetic levels. I think it is body's response to unusual homeotasis state, because it just NEVER went there. Type 2 diabetics get used to high glucose over time. Or type 1s who ran high, they report feeliong hypo at something like 8 mmol/l because their bodies got used to being high all the time. It then takes time to feel normal at 5.x mmol/l. I usually don't test unless feeling really out of it. Usually, it is above 6.5 mmol/l when I feel that way. I feel thirsty when reaching above 8.x mmol/l. I am not sure what is the cause. I need to find out if insulin resistance AND/OR lack of insulin is the real problem. My c-peptide is tested always on low normal boudnary, so it does not seem to iomply insulin resistance. But what happens after ingestion of carbs, who knows. Do I not produce enough insulin to deal with high carb diet? Or is my body at resistance stage due to low carbing and should revert back to normal glucose-based energy metabolism? ... only 2 weeks of honest carb up can tell. [/QUOTE]
