Yes, the beta cells start functioning again, but there is weight loss involved. Morbidly obese people start to lose weight immediately, though this isn't apparent for obvious reasons. The fatty liver and fatty pancreas start to heal and the pancreas starts to function normally. Insulin resistance also reverses. This outcome is the reason LCHF works and the mechanism is the same. A 1gm fat loss from the pancreas is enough to start the process.
Over a period of times in many persons beta cell get burned out due over work,. Even reserve beta cells die out due to strain of over burden. In the end type 2 gets converted to type1.
Well.....I am planning soon...I need to visit them as they won't entertain on telephone...I need to speak to main doctor there...
But even without discussing also we can follow same...as I stayed there some 10 yrs ago..diet they advise is sure below 800 kl and low carb diet...and that is normal diet they put you on.
No Sugar..No salt...and guess what earlier butter was not allowed...but about 2/3 yrs ago when i casually passed and visited refectory....I found fresh cow butter is now allowed.LOL....
What is your BMI? What is your planned duration of stay in the ashram? Here is a story of a person with BMI 21, who reversed his diabetes in 11 days by following the Newcastle diet -
Most of T2 patients are prescribed 'sitagliptin' or some DPP4 blocker drug.This it self points out that beta cells are still working and producing insulin....
May be beta cells are not even clogged with liver fat.But fatty liver is present.....
Then is it possible as many ppl says 'Leptin Signaling'???
me thinks that could be because of extra load . Any thing , any machine becomes obsolete with extra and excessive use . But then again , the amount of extra load could be different in different individuals .If used sparingly any machine comes for long time . The same thing with human body .Excess use or no use leads to defective functionality .Perhaps that could be reason for the practice of feasts on festival days and fasts on days of religious importance in the olden days .I think it is high time we practiced that , instead of going ceremoniously for three meals per day with in between nibblings .
