[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 954148, member: 91575"] The only evidence I can give is my own experience, coupled with the belief that high BG levels kills islet cell / insulin making beta cell death. I was diagnosed over two years ago. Over the last 15 months I have kept my fasting BG levels at an average of 4.5, and see virtually no indication of further beta cell death. This make me believe that had my BG levels say three years ago been within the same range as they are now, I would not be T1. Three years ago I had no idea what my BG levels were, never ever checked, but I had terrible bleeding gums that my dentist was concerned about and was constantly needing the bathroom. Now no gum problems and no barroom problems, which indicates to me I had high BG levels 3 years ago, and without doubt I must have had more beta cells alive then than now, so if I had gone on a low carb diet and kept my BG levels low, I would most certainly have more beta cells alive now. I could take the beginning of my dental and bathroom problems back to maybe 6 or 7 years. Which points to a gradual onset, not sudden. [/QUOTE]
