[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2315000, member: 216415"] A good point that goes back to the title of the thread. How do you know that you are/were insulin resistant? Maybe you just don't produce enough insulin. You had a fasting insulin test that showed low insulin but that is to be expected when fasting and would mask low insulin production. If you produce low insulin you would expect high blood sugar, but you eat almost no carbs so limited insulin would be enough. I suspect I am in the MARD category mentioned above, I was diagnosed at 67 and my moderately low carb diet keeps me in the range of my limited insulin capacity. [/QUOTE]
