[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 1680494, member: 223921"] My last HbA1c was 35 one before that was 39 and before that was 40 and have been considered by my doctor to have been in remission about 9 months or so I think. Losing weight has played a big part in that and a low carb diet. Weight loss over the last couple of years roughly was about 8 and a half stone I also restricted calories to achieve that. Though many manage by just low carb healthy fats. Yes I do believe that in my case as in many others on here insulin sensitivity does improve with weight loss though maybe you could say weight loss comes with improved insulin resistance due to lowering carbohydrate intake. But we are non of us the same so you really need to tailor your plan to your own individual needs what worked for me is not necessarily going to work for all. Tonight I had a shed load of carbs so my reaction was far more extreme than it has been in a long while. So although I can tolerate a lot more carbs than I used to I still cannot go completely over the top without some consequence. Hope this helps a little [/QUOTE]
