[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 462590, member: 12578"] Sam: The 2002 of the book is online though TBH not sure if tells me much. At the moment my essay is mostly about people being unlucky enough to have '2 hits'. Back to the original post, No-one can keep up heavy exercise and strict dietary regimes day after day without a break. As soon as you stop then you will not be able to get your glucose into the cells. Muscle cells can indeed obtain glucose from the blood during and even after exercise without insulin but you can't keep going indefinitely. Insulin also acts as a brake on ketosis , no insulin and ketones will rise. (you can starve and have high ketones and low glucose levels if you don't have enough insulin) If you are ill, or even have a small injury your insulin needs will rise Even if you are totally healthy,whilst exercising you will cause small amounts of damage that need proteins to 'mend' them. Insulin is needed for transport of proteins into the cells to repair that damage. I know you are keeping watch but I do wonder why you're not just attempting to get the best possible control whilst taking the right amount of insulin for the diet/exercise you are comfortable with, [/QUOTE]
