[QUOTE="AlcalaBob, post: 1681230, member: 30529"] Yes, I agree. The problem I see is the difficulty assessing the appropriate reduction in insulin. Fung, with his extensive clinical experience, has a lot of case histories to draw on. For someone like me, it would be rather hit and miss. It would probably be possible for me to figure it out bit by bit but I think it would be fairly bumpy. I chose the more gradual route of maintaining lower weight loss with insulin set at a sufficient level to keep low BG. I think the end result should be the same and I hope to reduce the insulin over time if/when the pancreas recovers functionality. The weight loss would probably be quicker with lower insulin and fasting but without some medical monitoring like blood tests at least weekly, which I don't have, I wouldn't have the necessary degree of control. I can see the benefits of Fung's approach but I can't sensibly follow it myself. This insulin business makes it quite a bit more complicated to control. [/QUOTE]
