http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/documents/BantingDiabeticMed.pdf In the

glucose, but your liver is constantly producing
glucose in order to keep your body functioning, unless that production is suppressed by insulin, which your pancreas releases in either a small steady amount or a large amount in response to food.
The answer we were given was that when the body is in a
fasted state, the liver automatically releases
glucose into the blood stream until we begin to eat again.

The study does show a U-curve with 2 hr
glucose, less so with
