https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/apple-cider-vinegar-side-effects#section2 This gives a fairly classic picture of too much ACV. I'm not for or against it. Being Type 1, I tried it but there was little to no effect on BGLs. I've had far better results doing low carb and high fat. This...

Hello all. Ive just begun supplementing with Vit B3 because of stiff knuckle joints. Its supposed to help arthritis. My BS dropped from a good 4.9 before breakky to 2.8 an hour later. Low Carb breakfast of course, less than 10gms carbs. I've been T1 since 1984 when it showed up after a nasty...

Question time. :) Does anyone else who regularly has higher BGL in the morning eg 8+ find that by having a small protein snack, like a handful of almonds, at bedtime can drop your morning BGL? Last night I was 6.9 ate some almonds and woke at 3.8 plus a foul headache. I'm on a pump so no change...

Has anybody else tried a small protein snack eg a handful of nuts, pecans, cashews, macadamias if you can afford them. This stops my predawn phenomena delightfully.

On a positive note, I've found motivation to become a pediatrician so other children or teenagers don't have to deal with this. Love your decision. In a Utopian world, mother's shouldn't have to worry about anything worse than throwing a dummy away. But to throw away the insulin, the tablets...

Have you tried eating a protein based snack at bedtime? I often eat a handful of pecans or macadamia nuts before bed and this stops the dawn phenomena issue and overnight hypos. It can even stop it for several days after, when not snacking at bedtime. Like others suggest, the liver can dump...

I've just been reading about fasting in relation to regrowth of beta cells on mercola.articles.com. In my limited understanding it appears that the body does have ways and means to reproduce these cells. Anybody here doing fasting? I'm only doing peak fasting by having evening meal at 6pm and...

I'd love to hear from an athelete or physically active person how they get on with low carbing. Do they loose fat or muscle? I'm maintaining my weight at 70kg on 30-50 gms. No excercise only physical housework.

Hey Zaquellyn Kudos to you! I didnt get diabetes until 19, so I never had to go through the emotionally traumatic teenage years with it. Tell him to wear and use his pump with pride. This is keeping us alive until a cure is found. Another attitude we have to develop is: We are controlling our...

I started the LCHF in January, when I was gaining 1 kg / month. (I havent consistently stayed at 20g carb, an apple is 15g.) But since January @ 75kg three months later down to 70.5kg. I actually began, not for weight loss but as a healthier diet, so that when the miracle happens and they find a...

Just throwing in a LCHF fact here. I'm type1 for more than 35 years, over 50 now generally reasonably healthy, no glasses. Vision had begun to deteriorate where I needed a bright bed lamp to do reading, vision chart was up two lines from the smallest. Started the LCHF diet in January and my...

Did a google search once on curing type 1. Came up with details about and Indian treatment, using large doses of niacin, for young people who were still in 'honeymoon' period. Seemed that a fluke or parasite, that is treatable with this vitamin, was disrupting the pancreas function. Sadly, I...

Hello I didnt get Type 1 until I was 19, so I never went through the stressful school years, trying to be normal.With your high sugars, would you be eligible for an insulin pump? (One good reason to go to your appointment.) I really like the pump because instead of diabetes controlling me, I...

Wow. Thinking of you and hope that we hear some good news in the very near future.
