[QUOTE="britishpub, post: 2047668, member: 175573"] You will dramatically reduce the chances of it "wearing out" if you don't overuse it. A normal healthy pancreas should last you a lifetime. It's not your Pancreas you need to worry about, it's the excess insulin the pancreas needs to produce if you are insulin resistant. By eating foods that don't require so much insulin, you put less stress on your pancreas and therefore help maintain it in a healthy condition. As for your age, it's hard if not impossible for anyone to determine exactly when they became insulin resistant and for how long they were experiencing the effects of high BG and the resulting damage. It could be that by catching it early and addressing the problems you will end up doing less damage long term. [/QUOTE]
