Health- the problem with fasting is not about hyperglycemia, its about getting hypoglycemia. Nothing will happen if for a day or two a diabetic will have high blood sugars the problem is if the sugars get too LOW!! Gluconeogenis generates glucose from amino acids. Such being the case, gluconeogenises will prove to help a diabetic who is fasting by stabilizing sugars and protecting from lows. Besides, gluconeogenesis is a cycle that kicks in during starvation mode, not during a regular one day fast!! Also, the only time gluconeogenis is activated is when there is low insulin (ie no carbs) so you obviously dont need insulin to block out the glucose that is produced by gluconeogenesis!! check your facts before you post!!:) We know you mean well but its hard to hear wrong information from someone who doesnt live with this every day!!
