[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2058679"] There’s a very wide spectrum of diets used on here to treat resistant diabetes. Some are successful on reduced carbohydrate and others find they need to go full-ketogenic. Yet others may find they’re successful on reduced carbohydrate but later choose to go keto once they get the bug, as it were. Some choose zero grain because it brings with it myriad benefits outside of glycemic control. It’s perhaps an overused cliche, but there’s no one-size-fits-all diet in this business. The only thing I will say with reasonable authority is that [B]extreme[/B] insulin resistance cannot be overcome with half-measures within a reasonable lifetime. It also very much depends on whether or not the individual is happy to use medication in order to achieve blood glucose control. Some are, some aren’t, and this is perhaps pivotal in determining how much carbohydrate they are able to consume. Additionally, we sometimes find that TOFI - who have a deficiency of adipocytes - are far less insulin sensitive than those who are able to free up some fatty tissue and stash away some more glucose as the cells become available to accept more fat. These people tend to have to be quite ruthless with their diet. [/QUOTE]
