But not needing insulin is incredible! I still can't get my head...

    When I go out on a long run, I wouldn't take insulin, I never have, I would go out on knowing I'm fueled up and plenty of energy, on long distance runs, especially runs over 25 miles, my blood sugar would always be going down and not up, so roughly every 6 or 7 miles I would be taking small...

    Hi there, so related to the gene, it's still ongoing on what it will be named and what it consists of, all I know is at present it's acted as a back up amune system recharging cells which have layed dormant in my pancreas for this time, enabling me not to inject insulin, all diet and carbs have...
