[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2604387, member: 480869"] Well obviously they [I]believed[/I] that then. I was more asking [U]why[/U] they thought that then, ie on what basis they diagnosed type 1 originally. Possibly difficult to know now though. Eg Did they actually test how much insulin you produced back then? C peptide for example? Or do antibody tests? Or base it on their understanding of symptoms? As you are type 2 it makes sense that your insulin needs have increased over the years. Adding insulin to an insulin resistant (as opposed to deficient as in type 1) body actually makes it more resistant in the long term even whilst it lowers blood glucose in the short term. Hence the focus on reducing circulating insulin and demand for it by those following a low carb diet and doing intermittent fasting. [/QUOTE]
