"High blood sugar is actually a compensation for a dehydrated state".
Now that rings true for me. I have long felt that dehydration is somehow linked. And it never seems to make any difference how much water or fluid I drink.
Does the potato thing work because it somehow manages to help rebalance the fluid levels within the body? Did my insulin resistance worsen on LCHF because it didn't actually address the fluid issue? Is that why LCHF makes me so constipated? Makes my hair fall out? Made me gain weight rather than lose any?
Hmmmm. Food for thought......

Dr. Bernstein has said how important it is to stay well hydrated. When you become dehydrated your body takes water from your blood. This makes the sugar in the blood more concentrated and can lead to very high BG numbers.
