Thank you for this, MrsD.
Of course as soon as I get this news, I went into "figure it out" mode. I just couldn't understand how this could possibly happen.
The liver thing makes sense. I don't understand the process well, but I understand weird things can happen when you drastically change your diet. One thing I definitely saw was that my FBG went up initially. I was consistently over 90 whereas I'd been mostly low 80s. I read somewhere this sometimes happens because your body is shocked by the lower carb intake and allows your BG to drift higher. It's back down to the mid 80s now.
I also read this article which is interesting regarding the life of red blood cells. Not knowing any better, it makes sense to me. I guess.
