Probably this. Somebody was talking about why it felt like it took more insulin to bring you down when you were already high… I can’t temember what you said, but you made it sound like “of course it does because…”

Was it this one?

@Eric

When insulin is absent from cells, Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK3) phosphorylates Glycogen Synthase. This phosphorylation inactivates Glycogen Synthase. Glycogen synthase is a key enzyme used in glycogenesis (the conversion of glucose into stored glycogen). And when Glycogen Synthase is inactivated, glycogenesis is not possible.

I know there are all kinds of exceptions. However, if we start looking at all the different possibilities and say “but, but, but”, we can end up swimming in circles. So I just want to give a very general rule for this this sort of stuff works. And not get too caught up in all the millions of scenarios and different things happening. Just very basic… As discussed previously, the body uses liver glycogen for fuel when you are not eating. It doesn’t need it when you have food in your stomach and…

Man, you must be sick as hell if you are asking for that stuff.
