[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2479104, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]Thanks [USER=551974]@Cass21[/USER]. So far, and I have experimented a lot, the only regime that gets really good results on more dramatically lowering my insulin, and my BG, and my waist measurement (my worsening BG signifier is my waist, ie the dreaded belly fat, which I check on with a tape measure for my waist/height ratio) is the longer fast, and as long as I can stand. I put this down to very sick fat cells. (This is another way of looking at severely insulin resistant folk.) I have had insulin resistance (IR) off and on since I was in my mid 20s, and I am now fast approaching 60. I count myself as one of the 15% of T2D folks with severe insulin resistance, and my own experience is this is pretty hard to budge. Fat cells take a long time to die and be replaced (10 years) to put it into perspective. By the time you are an adult you have your lifelong number of fat cells - it's just the state of health of them that changes after that. My understanding is, it is also where those fat cells are - for example - in the liver and in the pancreas... Most T2D folks are either mildly obesity related diabetic, or have mild age related diabetes, according to the Swedes (nearly 65% of those with T2D), and those, from what I can see, are the obvious swift success stories for overcoming IR and T2D.
