[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1118556, member: 211362"] Yes, so my guess is you still produce your own insulin. There is no way a person who hardly has any insulin or no insulin could get away with skipping meals, etc without some consequences. I already had this happen to me recently when I went to ER. I was told I must eat. The reason was because they found ketones and also because I was sick. If I carried on that way I would wind up with DKA. A person with their own insulin probably wouldn't unless severely sick. So when giving this sort of recommendation about diet you need to be careful to consider that not all type 2's have sufficient insulin, rather than approach it from the view that type 2's are all the same. There's quite a few of us that are on full time insulin therapy because of lack of insulin. I would also suggest that type 2's should know the state of their insulin production first by getting the diagnostic tests done again before attempting diets of this nature.... that means discussing with your doc. I've had the GAD and c-peptide done 3 times so far and the latest test showed I hardly produce any insulin. [/QUOTE]
