Just reading this thread for the first time and yes, that's how I understand it. I have PCOS and am diagnosed with insulin resistance and if I eat high carb I want to fall asleep (and can't really get enough sleep, I'm still groggy in the morning). I hate having the 2 hour glucose tolerance test because the insulin spike after the sugar drink makes me so tired and of course, sitting in the lab I can't go to bed  |
