    Your Thoughts On The Cause, Of Type 1 Diabetes

    Hello to you both MelDCP I believe there is certainly truth in scenarios like yours. I was told the same, about the immune system going into overdrive, It surely can't just be a coincidence. Linking back to my theory, maybe, somewhere deep in our genetic code, waits a trigger, ready to be...

    What Do You Think Causes Type 1 Diabetes? Myth & Science

    That is an interesting story @kitedoc In my family I am certain it is a genetical disorder. Both my grandparents had type 1 diabetes, I have type 1, my uncle has type 1 diabetes, my dad has type 2. You know thinking back I did think my diabetes was self inflicted, or may have sped up the...

    What Do You Think Causes Type 1 Diabetes? Myth & Science

    Hi all just a little off topic post about what you think causes type 1 diabetes, even though noone really knows a definitive answer, what did you think when you were a kid, what do you think now? I was diagnosed when I was 15, but my grandad had it. I always thought as a kid he woke up one...

    The Cure

    There has been some progress in research through Dr Faustmans' BCG vaccine trials. We are still a long way off, it is extremely complex and each persons body and DNA is different so one cure might not fit all. We don't even fully know the cause or how we can cure it, so therefore hardly know...

    Type 2 In Ketosis And Bs Still 7+

    I was under the assumption, ketones produced naturally through the liver, as a result of high levels of excercise, fasting, or high protein diets, were totally normally, and give the body and the brain energy from none carb sources. Ketones are only dangerous when caused by high blood sugars...

    Type 1 Adjusting Time Of Basal Travelling

    Yes I would inject then on 6pm florida time as that is still 11pm uk time. Going east to west you actually lose 5 hours, it's a little difficult to get your head around, it is for me lol, but with the watch method it's easy to stick to a 24 hour schedule no matter where you are. On the way...

    Type 1 Adjusting Time Of Basal Travelling

    You could take your 11pm lantus at home the night before flight. Set a watch and set it to UK time so you know what time it is back home, once it is 11pm on your watch again, take your lantus. 11pm here is 6pm in florida. You gain 5 hours on your day travelling west to florida. I have never been...
