I think that once you have the propensity to develop visceral fat then it becomes far easier to slip back and overconsumption of carbs will do that. I always doubted the beta cell death theory as many people have indeed exhibited near normal responses to carbs once they have lost the weight or restored their pancreas to working normally myself included. However I can be pretty sure that if I went back to eating the carbs that I used to the problem would return with a vengeance. A bit like regaining the visceral fat which would impede the pancreas again.  Does that help a bit?</blockquote>
