Hi, I can assure you that if you push, you will find the break point for any pancreas and, for the matter, glucose regulation mechanism in the body. Even if you do not have any genes predisposing to diabetes. For example, there are cases of high performance athletes without genetic...

Hi Dave, I followed your posts from May this year. Overall, your evaluation of the initial benefit makes sense. BUT, After reading Longo-s papers I evaluated how long could it take for a body with minimal remanents of beta-cells to recover, even if FMD is working. The truth is that it would be...

Hi kokhongw! Where do I find that interview with Longo?

Hi, I am very curious to hear opinions comparing two methods of caloric restriction aiming for diabetes remission 1. The "New Castle diet", 8 week very low calorie diet, throughly discussed in these forums, versus 2. The Valter Longo approach of periodic fasting If you have tried either one...

Well, that was also my guess. Therefore I took the initiative of starting something similar. Now is in the works ! Hope to give you an update soon.

..."presumably the newly regenerated beta cells would be attacked and killed by the immune system in Type 1s" But this is what makes it very interesting. To have shown that there is at least one way to promote regeneration is promissory. I remember Dr Bernstein said once that in autopsies of...

interesting discussion about whether you can go too low without drugs. I just had to add that if you have problems in your alpha cells release of glucagon or in your hepatic release of glucose when going low, then you might go into low glycemic levels. I think using meds and taking artificial...

Hi All Hi all. I guess the mistery is solved. It happens that I moved from living at 400m above sea level to 2120 meters. Therefore my body is still creating more hemoglobin, new, fresh, not glycosilated. I guess i have to wait more than 3 months in order to see a reliable HbA1c value...

Hi, where did you read that from Dr Bernstein? interested to read more. Thanks.

I like a lot your summary. Well done.

Hi Guys, Since many of you have a lot of experience on long-term, low carb diet: is it possible to achieve a HbA1c=4.3 (23mmol/mol)? Average doctors do not know. The laboratory says the value is correct, but I have doubts. It seems to be out of range, even for normal persons. But perhaps...

Congratulations, great history of success! Keep going !

It is super important to keep as close to normal as possible blood glucose levels. Keep going for HbA1c near normal values ! I read somewhere a study with in vitro cells where any hyperglycemic peak above certain value -180?- promoted the expression of different genes, usually not...

I see, great for your improvement! But I wonder always if something better can be done with the same budget...or no the cheap, so patients can cover it. perhaps is possible....

Yeah, drugs are ambivalent. And Dr DeFronzo does make video and conferences, for drug companies. I would just take the scientific knowledge from the paper.
