Where did you hear the liver converts fat into glucose?

[ConservativeMind]

Your bloodstream always has blood glucose, even if you have been doing extreme Keto for years. It makes it from fat and protein.

I find my glucose stabilizes around 83-85. Currently, my wife and I just eat “lower carb,” but with intermittent fasting, my wife’s recent blood test (two weeks ago) showed glucose of 83, with a prior one two months ago at 87. She and I both found ourselves at 107-108 five years ago and that made us shift away from high juice/carb use. We were drinking a lot of tart cherry and pomegranate juice for the antioxidants, but despite not tasting “sweet,” those had a ton of natural sugars.

Here are a few resources on the use of fat as blood sugar:
