Once you reduce body weight to normal levels, insulin insensitivity decreases. The formerly obese person now becomes more responsive to naturally produced insulin. When that happens, he or she requires less supplemental insulin and may not even require insulin injections as long as normal body weight is maintained.

I've got news for the good doctor. I'm still at least 40 lbs from a "normal" body weight (whatever that may be) and haven't required any medications to control my blood sugars for several months now. As a matter of fact, my blood sugars were in the normal range within two weeks of starting low carb.
Pssst....doc.....it wasn't the weight loss! |
