[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2202590, member: 41816"] While agree with you - diabetes is [I][B]never [/B][/I]simple :) thousands of T2s do fast (known as intermittent fasting) and reap significant rewards. Also, reducing insulin resistance is one of the main drivers for T2s choosing to go keto or low carb. But yes, as I said above, it is a very complex thing. My own situation is that I have IR even without eating, due to PCOS and medication and a prolactinoma. Other people have other factors in play. Ceasing to eat is just one. I tend to view IR as a sliding scale. Some people live with none, other people live with a baseline well above that. But daily life, exercise, food choices, sleep quality, medication and other health conditions all play a part over and above that personal baseline. Having said all that, my post was just a theory about what [B][I]may [/I][/B]be happening in your situation. I'm not T1 and I don't inject insulin, so there may be suggestions that your fellow T1/LADAs may come up with that would never occur to me. [/QUOTE]
