Has anyone expertise on this please? I read that LCHF diet can cause some type 2 persons to react to a Kraft style insulin test with a very low insulin response, type V curve, mimicking the type 1 diabetic response.
Is it that the low carb diet puts the insulin response to sleep, and then if a lot of 'fast ' carbs are eaten, perhaps in a moment or two of weakness, there is a rather hight post prandial blood sugar reading ?
I know that the recommendation before an OGTT is for the person to make sure they eat plenty of carbs for a couple of weeks before the test, to '' reset '' the body reactions.
I wonder if the LCHF is reducing the body's insulin response, and if this is reversible?. ie Going back on a normal carb diet might stop the sugar spikes, but at the price of being generally higher most of the time and having a higher HbA1c .
