[QUOTE="Tannith, post: 2390157, member: 422465"] That's why it's SO important to try weight loss first, as there's a limited window of opportunity for it to work. Once the Beta cells have been damaged for a long time (or rather differentiated into alpha cells, which can't produce insulin) they cannot be revived. If you waste time at the outset trying low carb first, you may have had T2 for too long by then for weight loss to work, whereas you can do low carb anytime. However there is no evidence that I have seen that low carb restores Beta cell function. It does lower blood sugar, but only mechanically, by putting less sugar, (carbs) into the bloodstream, rather than by healing the Beta cells so they can do the work for you once again. You may well have had T2 a lot longer than you realised by the time you were actually "diagnosed" [/QUOTE]
