[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1635665, member: 21149"] Hi. Confusing isn't it. Yes, if you are T2 and not T1 then having the low-carb diet may enable you to come off the insulin once your body weight/BMI is in a good place. The meter should guide you plus and HBa1C next time you have one. Cholesterol has only a loose connection to the diabetes. Many find that their lipids ratios improve as the low-carb diet progresses but as it's the liver that determines your blood cholesterol it's not a simple relationship. It's best to focus on the lipids ratios rather than the total cholesterol figure. I agree that as you have excess weight T2 becomes quite likely but not always. Just see how the diet and blood sugar goes and perhaps the insulin need will reduce. Do use the meter to check you aren't going into the hypo area. [/QUOTE]
