[QUOTE="nutribolt, post: 2427753, member: 533316"] 4.6 at 6AM and 5.1 now at nearly 36 hours into fasting... overnight average 5.0. [USER=514877]@Estragon[/USER] might not be the most accurate description but as I understand when we eat anything with readily available glucose/ fructose Liver processes it immediately and releases it in the blood stream and sends signal to pancreas to generate insulin so that blood glucose can be utilised by various cells. In non diabetics this results in that blood glucose being utilised but as a type 2 diabetic our cells are insulin resistant so BG keeps going higher. Now any blood glucose not utilised by body cells is considered excess fuel and is stored as body fat for later use thereby bringing the BG down overnight. [USER=223921]@JohnEGreen[/USER] why antibiotics? Numbers are of no consequence when body is a war zone, hope you feel better soon. have a great day everyone. :) [/QUOTE]
