[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1584368, member: 410240"] First remember he defines “remission” as normal AC1, not that someone can eat as many carbs as they like, or pass a glucose tolerance test. We have many people on this website "eating to their meters" getting normal BG reading without [B]first [/B]losing weight, therefore it is not unexpected that Dr Unwin gets a few people doing this on low carb. There is a chapter in "[URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Science-Low-Carbohydrate-Living/dp/0983490708']The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living[/URL]" about how to do very low carb for life when you don't want to lose weight. The problem is keeping protein as well as carbs low enough, hence having to make an effort to add lots of fat. As only people with unreversible Type2 have to do this and authors avoid giving medical advice it is not often covered in books. Intermittent fasting seems to also work well for these people, as some people can control Type2 just by avoiding high GI carbs and limiting their eating to 8 hours of each day. It seems to be more of an issue for people with "none western" DNA, maybe due to transitional access to refined carbs in different parts of the world over the last 1000 years. [/QUOTE]
