[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1658097, member: 410240"] The BG results from people doing ND on this site, makes me think the benfit of lower carb when on VLCD would only be in the first few weeks (maybe even only the first 2 or 3 weeks). As after that BG drops back to normal levels quickly with the high carb shakes. (The shakes do not have that high combined carb and protain contant as they do not have much of anything.) There is a Garman liver doctor who produces very low carb shakes for vlcd, but they are not on sale othern then to the Garman health care system - real shame. He cares that low carb VLCD removes the fat from the liver quicker, and his clients have a LOT of liver fat to remove. (He has not been funded to do research with Type2.) I however question if as well as removing fat from the bate cells, if they need to be exposed to short and high BG peaks to wake them up. This will remain a open questions until people doing very low carb have access to testing for “first insulin response”. (Without Type2 there is a very fast increase in insulin within 10 minutes of IV glucose, the insulin level then drops down again. With Type2 it takes a lot longer for the insulin level to increase, but it remains high for much longer.) [/QUOTE]
