[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1559326, member: 245335"] Only when they are making less insulin than normal. It is only my opinion but most UK GPs would not regularly send a type II for a c-peptide test to see how their pancreas is doing or even an insulin resistance test which I have only recently had last January. I actually had a c-peptide and IR test done privately. When I first went low carb, with my GP's reluctant consent, I was taking Metformin, Gliclazide and Januvia (Sitagliptin) and the GP was talking about insulin. I gradually threw away the Gliclazide, Januvia and eventually Atorvastatin as well, certainly within 2 weeks of starting. My HbA1c were fine for three years, but just a word of warning. My body played a dirty trick on me, it started to convert something else to glucose and my BG was all over the place. I straightened things out with a Newcastle approach, VLC, low carb (<40gms a day), low protein, for 6 weeks then a rest, now back at it and I think at some point I will have to get to a compromise. I'm not losing weight at the rate I would expect (BMR is 2300 cals per day + % for exercise, 1800 - nothing, 1500 - nothing, 1200 - nothing, 1000 to 1200 low carb - lost, 600 to 800 a la Newcastle - lost a bit more.
