As my morning numbers have come down, I have noticed something a little odd with my post breakfast numbers. I usually get a post breakfast drop in BG of 10 or so points. My typical breakfast has 30-40 grams of carbs and my 1 hour test is usually in the 70s to low 80s. At two hours I&#8217;m usually back to 80s to low 90s.<\/p>\n<p>What I think is going on is that by pre breakfast numbers show me how well I&#8217;m dealing with my liver&#8217;s glucose dump and my post breakfast numbers are showing the liver turning off and how well I&#8217;m dealing with the carbs in my breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;m curious about is if I&#8217;m doing myself any harm by fasting so long since I have higher numbers from the fast than I do from breakfast. Since those numbers are in a good normal range, I&#8217;m thinking it should not be an issue, but I don&#8217;t want to abuse my pancreas any more than I already have.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a change of diet and the accompanying weight loss, I have seen my morning fasting numbers come down from being too high (never below 120 and often above 130) to a range I&#8217;m very happy with (80s to sometimes 90s).
