Message: <blockquote data-quote="Freema" data-source="post: 1309909" data-attributes="member: 329519">one reason why one can be terribly hungry when having high blood glucose is rather simple : when your insuline is high (far too high as in type 2 like 6-10 times higher than it should be) when insuline is high the blood glucose is used to store fat into the cell, and therefore we are always hungry... a lot of storing going on. high insuline = too much food = the body goes storingWhen on the other hand insuline is low we switch to fat burning, but the insuline must be low before the signalt to burn fat is send in high enough doses, and then when we can loose weight.one of the best ways to get ones insuline down is by not eating carbs that get insuline raising, and by fasting that after 9 hours of not eating starts to go down , but only about  15-20% ,  but after 3 days of fasting insuline goes down like 30-35% or a little more..and thats about the most fasting does... but as type 2 diabetics that is really important  because otherwise we can keep on storing fat all the time, and have a very hard tie loosing weight compared to other people....  all my theories here are from Jason fung the famous low carb diet doctorI didn´t feel hungry all the time though, but did store fat alright, but maybe my diabetes came from medication and passivity more than eating very high levels of carbs...</blockquote>
