[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1959672"] Even though it sounds counterintuitive, potentially this might be [I]exactly[/I] what could happen depending on your current pancreas function. Without insulin, de novo lipogenesis is not possible. Your body would have no mechanism by which it could convert glucose to fat. Your cells would struggle to utilise glucose, and you’d have no choice but to begin oxidising stored fat. You’d lose weight, glucose would rise, ketones would rise. Potential DKA. As others have said, unexpected weight loss is a shot across the bow. Please don’t procrastinate when it comes to diabetic health management. The risks are extreme. [/QUOTE]
