[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 341482, member: 21149"] Hi. If your son had a sugar level of 20 on admission I think he caught himself, almost by accident, very early on which is great news. A level of 20 indicates diabetes but I sometimes go above 20 currently and it's not until the 30s or whatever that for most people hyper symptoms would appear which is why diabetes is so insidious because it creeps up on you. Sadly if you are diagnosed with T1 I'm not aware of anything that is known to slowdown the disappearance of insulin from the pancreas and you could spend a long time with a fruitless task currently to find that solution. All you can do is arrange for the best diet for your son, for him to have the level of insulin that works for him (even just tablets for a while might be OK for someone in his current position) and continue to monitor his blood sugar as needed. Sorry to be negative but you could spend a lot of time and money on snake-oil treatments. If anyone on the forum knows of evidence-based solutions to delay pancreatic deterioration once diagnosed I'd like to hear more about them as I could use them as well! [/QUOTE]
