[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1535340, member: 138639"] As much as I want you to also have the miracle gene i think its much more likely to be a case of decreased insulin resistance, and increased metabolic rate. Whenever you train hard, like you are, your body gets constantly working. Doctors estimate that physical excercise can affect BS for up to 48 hours afterwards. If you are really kicking ass in the gym almost daily, then i can totally see your lantus needs dropping. With this, you are likely to reduce insulin resistance. I get 2 things from this that could be happening 1) your working out so hard that your body is just burning everything you put into it and your schedule is so frequent that the 48 hour window always contains more exercise so your sugars are staying low. 2) Your work outs have lowered your insulin resistance, and your body is still putting out some insulin, combine these with point 1 and your getting to a point where after long enough you can stabilize yourself. That 10.2 after your meal would be enough to say you aren't totally cured - but youre certainly doing something that is making you like... almost cured ? lol IF beta cells can be regenerated over time (some scientists believe this) and you do still have some, then it would be in your best interest to inject SOME insulin with meals to stay in the normal range, maybe after long enough staying in that normal range you will continue regenerating cells and the results will get better and better - or at least stick around longer! or you have the same gene.. in which case i need some of your blood lol [/QUOTE]
