Message: <blockquote data-quote="KennyA" data-source="post: 2742447" data-attributes="member: 517579">My honest answer is I don't know, but I think the "reverse completely" bit is unlikely for most, maybe all, people.  I notice now that if I have small amounts of carbs it neither hits my BG badly nor does it knock me out of ketosis. Bear in mind that a normal day's carb is around 20g for me, and I'm talking about a day of maybe 40g or 50g. That might indicate that my insulin response system is coping a bit better with glucose in late 2024 than it was in late 2019, thanks to taking the strain off it for the last five years. But that's not saying much. I think of my present insulin system a bit like a vintage car. It still runs, I need to take care of it, and it needs maintenance every day.  I can stress it a bit more every so often, when the wind's in the right direction.  But I can't use it as a general daily runabout to do the shopping in, to take stuff to the tip or set off to drive to the Italian Riviera in it - because it would break down.  Maybe not in the first day or week, but soon.  And it might not be repairable then. So for me - I don't expect it.</blockquote>
