[QUOTE="Zebediah, post: 894622, member: 189238"] Many thanks for your replies. in answer to the questions and also below a bit of an update after talking to my diabetic nurse : [B]Azure[/B]: Yes i managed for about 6 months without insulin, just tablets. I actually asked to go on insulin because i read that its worth trying this to protect beta cells.... i presumed this didn't work - but i was eating based on the prescribed high carb "eatwell" plate until January this year. [B]Ian[/B]: i have read Dr Bernstein, and i vaguely remember him talking about possible regeneration of cells. [B]Tim[/B]: My blood ketones were 0.3 on Tuesday night - but i have run out of sticks. see below - my nurse agrees with you. by the way my last HBA1c was in April this year and was 5.4% I just spoke to my diabetic nurse. She says its unlikely that cells have regenerated, but it may be residual cells coping better now i have lost weight and am eating fewer carbs.. pretty much what you guys are saying i think. Interestingly she wanted to know about my ketones. i now have an prescription to pick up later to get some more blood sticks. I wanted it in my notes that i am currently not injecting because i was having to pop glucose to get above 5 so i could drive! I have to say my DN is very supportive of my low carbing and has been a real help to me since i have been seeing her. I just wish there were more in the NHS that understand how carbs affect us. thanks [/QUOTE]
