+1 more anecdote, I was never diabetic, but doing keto for a year helped me lose 60 lbs and regain my insulin sensitivity.<p>Even now if I eat keto for breakfast and lunch and moderate carb for supper. Even when I have the occasional high-carb meal, I feel dramatically different than I did before keto&#x2F;weight loss.<p>I don&#x27;t know about the pancreas, but both abstaining form alcohol and keto are shown to dramatically reduce the amount of fat stored in the liver.
