[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1887761, member: 6467"] I think T2s typically over produce insulin prior to and in the early stages of diagnosis. Diagnosis is often because the pancreas has maxed out and can no longer over produce enough. This is one reason that rapid weight loss and reversal of Insulin Resistance can effectively reverse T2 if done in time. The pancreas is still fully functional (or nearly so) and once the demand for insulin falls all is fine. However if you don't catch it in time and your pancreas has reduced insulin production then you are too far down the one way street. If you don't treat your Insulin Resistance then the pancreas fails further, and you are on the long traditional path to insulin injections, via drugs which wring that extra little bit out of a failing pancreas over a short(ish) period. I had my IR tested and I had low insulin production and mild IR. Difficult to decide what these figures mean because on a keto diet the insulin demand is low so you would expect low insulin production. However I'm pretty sure that I'm not over producing insulin.
