[QUOTE="clareb1970, post: 1395548, member: 168117"] Many thanks for your advice Brunneria. Perhaps the thread I was reading had both T1 and T2, I know it did not specify one or the other... either way, it is still a pretty extreme was to manage your diabetes, but then I am still in the process of discovery hear. You said that keeping low blood glucose can reverse diabetic complications, well I have not been T1 for ten years now following a SPK transplant - no insulin injections and a normal HbA1c. I cannot tell you how wonderful it has been and I will always be eternally grateful. The thing is, very few diabetic complications are reversible. Any sort of vascular damage cannot improve - so diabetic retinopathy, kidney disease, damage to veins and arteries etc remain unchanged. As does any peripheral nerve damage, such as to the toes or feet. What I can confirm is that after years of normal blood sugars these conditions have not got any worse - it's as though they came to a halt the day I had my transplant, which is what I hoped would happen. I will have read of your suggested material and see what more I can find out. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
