Not everything works for everyone, I’m finding…

@JoyfulSilence I don’t literally fast, but my doctor calls them my "fasting" numbers because it’s what my monitor reads first thing in the morning, before I eat or drink anything.

I was experiencing the same thing, with high morning numbers which became lower by noon, after breakfast and a walk. Someone at my support group was saying that sometimes the pancreas dumps sugar while you sleep, although I might’ve misunderstood.

@bijouxbroussard

I think the pancreas only secretes insulin (and digestive enzymes, etc.), not sugar. I think it also secretes a hormone, which I think makes your liver turn its stored sugar (glycogen?) into glucose.

The Ozempic makers say it increases insulin production and reduces liver sugar production.

A lot of YouTubes say the real problem is insulin resistanance, and that too much insulin is bad, too. One said the drug does not increase insulin but just reduces liver sugar production. So confusing. But I should be sceptical about YouTubes.

@JoyfulSilence Yes, I had misunderstood what the person said—it is the liver that for some people dumps excess sugar while they’re asleep.

@Micro Thank you. 👍🏽

@bijouxbroussard I remember last year we chatted about the Marvelettes, The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game. I watched a interesting documentary about Howling Wolf and when he visited England and said, " This is for all you British punks". Keith Richard's narrated the story, it was hilarious. The Rolling Stones loved him, as they did Muddy Waters. The Stones got their name from frome Muddy Waters song as well.

@sciguy18 Thanks, Sci. 🙂

@SwampFlower Thank you, my friend. 🤗
