Resistance to Symptomatic Insulin Reactions after Fasting

"This study was carried out to determine if ,in fasting, an adaptation to utilization of ketones could prevent cerebral dysfunction during periods of acute, insulin-induced glucopenia."

"After fasting two months, administration of weight-adjusted doses of insulin (...) glucose concentrations as low as 0.5 mmol/l (9mg/100ml) failed to precipitate hypoglyemic reactions."
