[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2114672, member: 480869"] Boggled as we all are I would imagine that having been on insulin for so long you will be very highly insulin resistant, thus going a bit low carb just isn’t enough. It’s shown a reaction though by stabilising your levels so that’s still a response. How many carbs are you eating a day? How long since you started this? Honestly, I think you need to give it longer. Rome wasn’t built in a day and the resistance has been there a long time. I also think you need to go very low carb (keto) if you aren’t already but obviously great care will be needed balancing insulin against this carefully to avoid hypos. Slimming world will pump you full of “free” carbs if you’re not careful. Not good at all for a type 2. [/QUOTE]
