Becoming less insulin resistant?
I'm just wondering......
If you stay on a LC diet (long enough) , do you eventually become less insulin resistant? Does the body reset itself? I don't mean going back to eat sugar everyday.....but perhaps does it spike less down the road? thanx

Yes, if you low carb long enough, your insulin receptors become more efficient at using the hormone available. Susan It is probably not a good idea to go back to eating sugar again as the OP indicated. -- Newsoffice.de - Die Onlinesoftware zum Lesen und Schreiben im Usenet Die Signatur läßt sich nach Belieben anpassen ;-)

"Liam T." wrote in I'm sure its not the same for everyone, but roughly what are we looking at approx. 6 months or a year? Or does it adjust earlier? Once you realize what a real poison sugar really is to the body, you don't want to ingest any of it! Problem is, the food industry injects it into everything they make to give their cheap bland food some taste.

Becoming less insulin resistant?
I can only report what happened to my wife.
She was diagnosed with type II after taking a glucose tolerance test. That test registered 190. She has been on Atkins now for 9 years. We moved and she got a new doctor. They did a glucose tolerance test a year ago and she registered 100. Her doctor said that she must have been diagnosed with type II by mistake because the glucose tolerance test and her A1C were completely normal. My wife knows better. She knows she has type II and does not eat carbohydrates except for very complex carbs. So, I can only say that a low carb diet will put her type II in remission. All she needs to do to see it again is start eating carbs. I read about one other case like hers. A woman was diagnosed with type II at age 60 and treated with diet only. She just died of a stroke at 86. My wife sees this as reason to be optimistic about her future health. Type II does not have to mean that you must suffer the usual type II ills.
