As a Diabetic trying to control and understand your wild blood sugar fluctuations, problem is that you tend to limit your thinking to that your high blood sugar is all about just what you are eating.
You can learn to almost eliminate your blood sugar from food and then you see you still have wild blood sugar levels that make no sense at all.
These wild blood sugar level changes are sugar being dumped from your liver into your blood sugar at all the wrong times.
How is my liver getting all this blood sugar to dump into my blood stream when i am not eating any you may ask?
Your liver acts like a sugar factory on overtime, churning out glucose throughout the day, even when blood sugar levels are high. If there is no sugar in liver storage, it converts sugar to store in the liver making it from fat or muscle mass.
The liver is the “sugar factory and warehouse” when you are not eating any direct sugar making material.
Your body is a dual fuel machine that runs on 2 different fuels depending the activity, blood glucose, is used for high-energy activities, or emergency supplementation.
Routine times normally on just body fat, for low-energy activities.
This is what we are talking about in saying you have got your blood sugar under control. It is working with your automatic system to coach it into getting control of automatic auxiliary sugar release.
You have sort of coaxed your automatic operating system into regaining enough control to keep your blood sugar at tolerable levels.
