[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 697314, member: 91575"] Over the last 5 months with very little carb intake and weight change my BG levels have been very much constant (my average pre breakfast BG readings have been under 5 and my average 2hr after meal testings have been under 6). Since diagnosis a year ago, and until the last 5 months, I was constantly reducing carbs (from probably around 200g to 36g) in order to keep BG constant (at around 6.0 fasting and 7.0 2hr after eating) This makes me conclude that I have as many beta cells now as 5 months ago, but fewer than when I was first diagnosed. Thus at this moment in time, my bet a cells are no longer being destroyed, which I can put down to the fact that my BG levels are constantly low. And thus, were I on my present diet, with low BG levels, before diagnosis I would not be diabetic...... Simply because I had, for sure, more beta cells then, than now. [/QUOTE]
