Thank you very much, @VirginiaEdie.
The reason I’m trying to find a way to reconcile keto and a normal blood glucose, instead of just quitting keto is that I think it makes a lot of sense to decrease insulin. So, it is a balancing act for me: I want to have the cake and eat it too, meaning, low insulin AND low glucose.
If I’d achieve low glucose, then upon testing, find out my insulin was skyrocketing, I’d be very disappointed, because for me that would mean I was just delaying a personal disaster, increasing the probability of developing diabetes.
Let’s see if I can find something that works for me.
Thinking of what you’ve written, I was organizing my thoughts.
(Tagging you, @SunnyNC, just in case you haven’t read the post where I talked about this -below- before. I lose track.)
If eating less carbs can fix a pancreas by giving a rest to the insulin machine, perhaps to fix my liver, I need to do the opposite: eat more carbs, more meals, so that gluconeogenesis becomes unnecessary and my liver rests. I’m trying to balance eating more carbs and exercising less, or less intense, with the aim of telling my liver it doesn’t need to go on with the dumping of glucose.
Only this week I’m exercising a monster volume, but it’s just a week.
