[QUOTE="KenMacK, post: 2052616, member: 506757"] P.S. One of the many things that distinguishes T2DM from other insulin-deficient forms is that there is no measureable early loss of normal islets-hormonal response to AAs (amino acids). This is a HUGE advantage. Hence, a sufficiently low-carb diet will normalize BG during the first few years after conventional diagnosis (i.e. after loss of insulin granulation), and insulin therapy is NOT required to prevent diabetic complications in early T2DM. I should have mentioned this above, particulary for Debra's benefit if she has been only recently diagnosed. Once again, this has been well recognized since the 1970s, and back then it was actually studied by some researchers. Due to the insulin/glucose-centric myopia of later decades little has been done since -- evidently funding is not available, unsurprisingly. Once the T2D advances (in loss of beta-cell function) more toward insulin dependence the hyperglycemic response to AAs will appear. I would strongly recommend regular prolonged (e.g. five days) fasting -- no food, only water -- several times a year for a T2D seriously working upon beta-cell regeneration and reversal of the condition. This is, by far, the most potent stimulus for cellular repair and regeneration. Short of a full fast, there are some medically prescribed forms of very-low nutrient formulas now available, and these can achieve a close approximation of the fasted state for those who prefer to put something (however nutritionally insignificant) into their stomachs every day. ProLon (developed by Valter Longo) is one such. Adding some electrolytes, especially Na and K, to daily water is recommended for those who perform a conventional fast. One should probably consult an appropriate physician (if one can be found) in preparation, but IMO this is unnecessary unless there are complications of abnormal health. T2DM itself would not be such a complication. Anyone performing a fast should first be fully, long-term keto-adapted -- this is a must. [/QUOTE]
