[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2233385"] In addition to all of the above, which I most heartily agree with, even if tests were to reveal that you are now underproducing your own endogenous insulin, that is not necessarily game over. Committed low-carbing over a prolonged period can often 'repair' the pancreas if its currently deficient because it's full of fat. That's not to say that exogenous injections would not be necessary at all but, with a little good fortune and a tenacious grip on diet, it could potentially be a temporary measure. PS. Do not be surprised if your DN poo-poos the low-carb idea straight out of the gate. Some are stuck in 1980. EDIT: To add - if you are indeed deficient in insulin, you should also request antibody testing to check for the onset of an autoimmune reaction. [/QUOTE]
