[QUOTE="Triceraptors, post: 1647789, member: 288166"] I was not diagnosed with diabetes. The endocrinologist said none of the parameters show I am diabetic. I fell into low-carb accidently, then got some sweet taste in my mouth, ketones, loss of weight and got scared so took out all carbs for at least 2 weeks, and did not each much as well. Quite stupid, but I was anxious as hell. I was discharged from the hospital endo and another doctor telling me that this is severe insulin resistance induced by this lifestyle and I need a dietician to help me safely go back to normal metabolism. He said that my OGTT was that insane because of muscles rejecting glucose and pancreas being lazy. By the way, I did not write it out clearly. My OGTT was bad. It shot up to 13.8 after 2 hours, then came down on its own to normal after around 3.5 hours. This is what scared me and the endo. This is why he put me into hospital for monitoring and he seems to be convinced this is not diabetes but insulin resistance. I want to stop this madness and come back to eating my carbs. Reason why I quit them was concerns of diabetes and according to the endocrinologist, it is not my problem. Also, my c-peptide was lowish but it seems it matters only if fasting blood glucose is high, main was like 3.9 at a time. I hope my doc is not wrong. [/QUOTE]
