[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2120784, member: 368709"] In my opinion it’s more likely that the weight is a symptom of the diabetes rather than causing it - fed by insulin resistance. If you reduce insulin resistance by restricting carbs and eating less frequently then your body may well handle carbs more efficiently. However as someone who has dropped significant weight and both maintained a non diabetic HbA1c for over 2 years and significantly improved insulin resistance (also into normal range), I can personally testify to the fact that it doesn’t take very many carbs at all to push my BG above where I’d like it to be. Aside from that the other health benefits that have accrued from a ketogenic diet mean I won’t be going back. [/QUOTE]
