[QUOTE="Deleted member 371625, post: 1669891"] My guess is that the weight loss removed most of the visceral fat from my pancreas and liver, which dealt with the insulin resistance. The exercise increased my metabolic rate, enabling my body to overcome the metabolic syndrome from which it was suffering. These are quite simplistic explanations but have some evidence to support them (something is clearly working and whilst the reason interests me, it isn't vital for me to know why). Also, the recommended amount of carbs is 300g/day with 2 hours a week of exercise (NHS / Eatwell plate etc.). My mum was diagnosed T2 15 years ago and stuck rigidly to this regimen, within a year becoming med free and BG completely under control. 180g/day is only just over half this amount and I do 2 hours exercise per day. I believe that the exercise is the crucial part as my BG was well within the normal range by the time I had lost about 20lb of the 85lb that I eventually lost. [/QUOTE]
