Simply reducing the amount of carbs you eat does NOT increase insulin sensitivity at all. It might spare your beta cells if you have any for a while, but that's not insulin sensitivity. You take less insulin, sure. But that's not insulin sensitivity either. It's just a lower dose matched to slower requirement. But it is not actually improving your health in any positive way. Exercise actually improves insulin sensitivity - your basal rate goes down, and your insulin to carb ratio goes  down, while your calorie and carb intake can both go up without any detrimental effect on HbA1c. In fact, with an accompanying improvement in HbA1c. It's harder to manage at first than LCHF. But LCHF is merely avoiding further damage. It is not actually improving your physiology.Exercise improves just about everything.</blockquote>
