[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 1513361, member: 113206"] People with no insulin resistance and normal pancreas function may become temporarily insulin resistant when on a very low carb diet. After a few days or longer of eating carbs again, normal function comes back. This is why someone on a low carb diet needs to eat carbs for a few days before they do an oral glucose tolerance test to avoid a false positive result. However, I doubt that a very low carb diet will cause any permanent issues with insulin response or sensitivity. I think if one were to eat 10 - 50 g of carbs a day, there would be no damage to your pancreas and no need to eat more carbs occasionally. Probably a bad idea, really, if the extra carbs are in the form of starch/sugar. [/QUOTE]
