[QUOTE="JohnH2019, post: 2055537, member: 503734"] Thank you LittleGreyCat! It makes sense that there is always some level of production (pancreas damage permitting) and it is not on or off completely. I did notice that until I had my insulin and BG under better control I was not able to drop my fat percentage level. There is some signalling whereby the body will lower the usage of adipose fat energy storage when there is a higher amount of insulin in the blood. At what exact level this is will likely vary from person to person. But it might explain why it is so extra hard to maintain optimal fat percentage when diabetic. I guess I will still just have to just go to the doctor once in a while for the fasted insulin blood test that I was trying to shortcut. I hate going to the doc. :nailbiting: [/QUOTE]
