[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2388115, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome to the forum, and sorry about your recent 3c diagnosis. Also sorry that the nurse decided to pass on an irrelevant anecdote of zero use to you. It would have been far more useful to you if she had explained how insulin resistance works. This is a v brief overview [URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_resistance[/URL] And you may find Jason Fung’s blog Intensive Dietary Management useful - but it is important to remember that he is aiming his blog at a primarily T2 audience, not a newly diagnosed 3cer. Something to bear in mind is the possibility that your pancreas may be slowly losing its insulin producing capacity, following your last nasty bout of pancreatitis. Another possibility is that your poor over stressed pancreas has heaved a huge sigh of relief at no longer bearing the burden alone, and is taking a nice little rest. In which case it may perk up a bit after a while. Those last two are, of course, just speculation. However, I would urge you not to place much confidence in the nurse's story. There is a huge difference between a few misguided insulin-abusing body builders, and your situation. [/QUOTE]
