My goal is to eliminate the post meal spikes. I've been able too and reduce my insulin. The key has been a very low carb diet eating mostly veggies and no fruit except for avocados eggplant tomatoes cucumbers and limited berries  Another key that acts like a vaccination is increasing my lean muscle mass - I still have love handles. I've seen a reduction in my fasting glucose, decrease in reading glass strength virtual all my pain and numbness in my feet toes and hips are gone.I also believe that some or a portion of my dying or worn out beta cells have come back.I can't get a c-peptide test but for the last 10-days I've been experimenting with drinking 35 to 50mg of pure whey protein 1/2 hour before eating a LCHD meal. For 5-days my BG was actually lower than my insulin regiment. Especially my fasting levels a post meal. I stopped with the regiment partly because Dr. Bernstein recommends not taking oral agents that stimulate beta cellsAs soon as I stopped my BG became ad before but I've actuality been using less insulin. I am think it is obvious that my beta cells were producing insulin.</blockquote>
