If you eat no carbs the body will convert protein and fat to glucose. I think I have a chart which explains this and how long it takes. When I get onto my laptop I will try to find and publish it. I note you say you eat peanuts before bed. Did you know that peanuts are 16g carb per 100g? I know I have to be careful of eating them on an empty stomach. You would be better off probably with a lump of cheese and a small cracker as the fat from the cheese would balance out the carb in the cracker.I am down to low 6s within a couple hours. By bedtime, after a snack of no carbs as I am hungry, I am high 7s. During the night my blood glucose averages around a 6.
No, not exclusive to this forum. I was familiar with the expression long before this forum even existed, back in the day when the only forums were USA based and the only UK based discussions were on a clunky thing called newsnet. However it would seem to only be used by peoplewith diabetes, I’ve never heard a medic use it. Though Gary Scheiner if Think Like A Pancreas may refer to the phenomenon.Foot on the Floor Syndrome is I believe colloquial to this forum and is just a more sociable variation of Dawn Phenomenon. Basically FOTF waits until you get out of bed to trigger your liver to release glucose into your blood stream and for me, my levels could rise by as much as 6 whole mmols in half an hour if I didn't inject insulin
Sorry folks, I can't find the protein and fat conversion chart. It was on the DSF website. The only person who may have it is @everydayupsanddowns
Really? That is disappointing, I've been avid to get to see it. Not been to the pictures for years. Loved In Bruges so thought this would be good.The film "Banshees of Inisherin" was very tedious for the first hour, so my friend and I walked out and went for a coffee. Maybe we missed something happening later, but I found it hard to care!
