[QUOTE="Jasperville, post: 1220220, member: 294517"] I think that for long-term diabetics, beta cell burnout is a real issue. I was diagnosed 17 years ago. i am reducing my Hba1c nicely with a low carb high fat diet, losing weight, hopefully reducing insulin resistance a bit. However, a meal with 75 grams of carbs still sends me up to 10-14. I think this will still happen, even if I manage to lose all my visceral fat. So, for me, the mantra, which I tell my wife all the time, is that i am low carb for life. It is control, not reversal. However, i fully accept that people more newly diagnosed may have more preserved beta cell function, and may be able to get away with a higher carb level. [/QUOTE]
