[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1455855, member: 245335"] I think it is going to vary from person to person. I've had a few c-pep tests over the last 4 years when I've been following a low carb diet, so I know that has remained constant and insulin production is in the normal range. Insulin resistance can be measured but I've only recently discovered that so only have one measurement. However, my BG and HbA1c have become more elevated and probably because the insulin resistance has got worse. There is also the fact that my body is now converting protein and probably fat to glucose because my FS Libre is showing elevated levels several hours after eating a meal with little or no carbs (40gms per day). Recently started Januvia which doesn't seem to be doing much at the moment, I'll give it a few more weeks. I've read different experiences from different people, some say 1 week some say 2 months, so I'm hoping for something in between. [/QUOTE]
