[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2267298, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=520136]@southamptonsteve1959[/USER], Based on the results of the Virta Health study, about 60% of those changing to a low-carb/ketogenic way of eating experience remission. Dr. David Unwin and this site's low-carb program report similar figures. As [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] says, one reason may be that not all those diagnosed with T2 are truly T2 -- some might be LADA (slow-onset T1) or MODY (a genetic condition where beta cells, for the most part, don't function correctly -- though there many different forms of MODY). Another reason seems to be that after many years/decades of very high blood sugars, beta cells may be irreparably damaged (though there are some anecdotes that remission has just taken a bit longer and was achieved after being low carb for many years). I also agree with [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] that many on this forum choose not change the description under their avatar from "T2" to "T2 in remission" and that this might create an impression that that remission for T2s is less common on this forum that it actually is.
