[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2001675, member: 368709"] Quite interested in some of the exclusion criteria especially those with HbA1c of 108 or above - cherry picking? Many members on here have been diagnosed at that level or above and have had dramatic turnarounds on LCHF to well below the DIRECT remission threshold of 48. Your point about the Virta study and success with getting people off insulin is also interesting. I also think that measuring insulin and insulin resistance would be very illuminating in all these studies - suspect it’s not the weight loss per se that leads to most success, but rather that the weight loss reflects improved insulin sensitivity. A study comparing like for like would be very valuable. Thanks for posting this. [/QUOTE]
