[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1633692, member: 429870"] Bluetit, that's an interesting point, and it may well be that I am not very insulin resistant, given that I am very under-weight. However I think I must be producing very little insulin, since even consuming probably under 20 grammes carbs daily I can't keep my numbers anywhere near normal, and they rise during the day whatever I do - eat almost no carbs, fast - doesn't matter. I think I am Lada, but I go with Dr Bernstein's thinking that the category is irrelevant. What counts is the level of glucose in the blood. I can see that many T2s can eat far more carbs than me while maintaining good bg readings. My A1c was 41, officially pre-diabetic in the UK, but I go along with the belief that with an A1c over 31 one is already in harm's way. Certainly I can now identify health problems that imo were due to my bg level, which have disappeared since I began to reduce my carbs, and others also linked to my bg which have not yet improved, but I'm living in hopes!
