The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

The glucagon component looks paradoxical and is not.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. The counter-case has not been addressed. Somebody upthread described the situation that does not fit, and the thread moved on rather than engaging with it, which is the failure mode this board is supposed to avoid.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
