[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 1235850, member: 91575"] Another update. I started this thread some 2 1/2 years ago, when my consultant said I was not a T2 but a T1 in the honeymoon period and that I would be on insulin within weeks. I proved him wrong for over 2 years, but he was right in the end as I am now taking small doses of insulin daily, normally 4 units before breakfast and 3 units before my evening meal. I started regularly taking insulin when my BG fasting levels went regularly above 6.0, which was a couple of months ago. I met my consultant again a couple of weeks ago. He complemented me on my long time without insulin and said if I carry on doing what I am doing (very low carb and high fat diet) I could remain in the honeymoon period for maybe many years. My hba1c was 5.8%, up 0.1% from November 2015. My cholesterol is good and my weight is holding up well. I think I probably could have extended my time without insulin further if I had carried on excecising a lot, I have cut back excercise this year, still excecising, but not excessively. I have no plans to change my diet. My high fat (80%) very low carb diet that I have been on for over two years now works. I am still fitter, stronger, have more energy now than I had 10 years ago and feel healthier. Taking insulin has proved to be no big deal. [/QUOTE]
