Message: <blockquote data-quote="rmz80" data-source="post: 1672001" data-attributes="member: 306547">I was prescribed insulin to control my diabetes. On starting a diet when losing weight my insulin went down by the same ratio. Eventually I plotted this on some graph paper. The calculated a zero mark on the graph paper and it was about (i found out later) “my lean body mass” which is your weight minus body fat. You can get a measurement device off ebay for about £3 to measure this.There was jolt downwards on starting statins and on starting to use an exercise bike however.Im now free of insulin or anything else at 2kg above my lean body mass and have a normal diet (50% of cals are carbs)</blockquote>
