4.94 average this week. A very slight increase. BUT an OGT a couple of days ago gave a 2 hour result of 8.2. I am absolutely delighted! 2 weeks and four days earlier it was 9.3. That's a big drop in such a short time! Prof Taylor's subjects did not get back to nearly normal insulin production til 12 months after starting the diet, though they had long since finished dieting.
My theory about this is that even once the poor little beta cells stop drowning in the swamp of pancreatic fat, they still have to undergo a recovery time before they start working at nearly full capacity again. It is also possible that geriatric beta cells such as mine, may take longer to recover than those of young people
