Message: <blockquote data-quote="phoenix" data-source="post: 303731" data-attributes="member: 12578">Surely it's aim was to reduce visceral fat ie around the pancreas and liver and thus 'reverse' insulin resistance.  This would help for people with T2 but not do much for people with T1.Because of it's very low calorie intake it was supposed to be done under medical supervision. I doubt many doctors would want someone who was insulin dependent to undertake it. Even with a pump it would be difficult to get both basal and bolus right, with other insulins it would be even harder. Too much insulin ;hypos. Too little ,  potentially great weight loss but danger of high glucose and DKA. Devil and deep blue sea.</blockquote>
