Thanks Bluetit, as you say it is an imaginary concept and the rejection you mention is certainly a possibility. I guess if nobody else has tried it out then experiment may be a good way forward. I too have no experience of the insulin pump, but if devices such as the Accu-check combo system...

Thank you Sunburst69, I have studied diabetes for three decades and am aware of these common answers, yet despite hundreds of experiments based upon advice from many consultants and websites there appears to be no answer. The insulin pump may be an answer, but what is really needed is a drug...

My question relates to using an insulin pump to counter liver dump, nothing more, so it should remain here.

Hi All, A bit of advice please. My BS would be very good if it wasn't for Liver dump. A rise of 3-4 mmol/l between 3-5am. It means my low is pre dinner, my bedtime ids down to 6 or 7, at 3am a bit lower, but by 8am it can be over 10, and it takes a few hours to get it down again. This destroys...

I will write a little about psychology, but not diabetes. The psychology of an online forum. The importance of effective moderation cannot be underestimated. Failure will usually lead to the domination of three personality types, the self appointed guru, the sheep and the sniper. The guru...

Don't attack the person, Totto. I know the brainwashed definitions and Wiki is not my bible. Now I gave five areas that I feel are needed to address the epidemic. Please concentrate on those and not attacking a person trying to help the community. It's about diabetes and not your ego.

Good posts, Totto and Phoenix, thank you. You see I'm not really interested in modern day terminology, I'm interested in helping people from my own experiences. Genetics are not part of my subject, the epidemic is! It is correctly pointed out that starvation was not effective with type 1's, just...

Garr, please read my comment to you above Totto, I have covered genetics, I completely understand that those genetically predisposed are in a different class than those my OP was addressing. Neither sociology nor psychology likely influence genetics.

Thank you for your responses. At the outset I stated that it was "my understanding of some aspects of diabetes, some of which may vary from convention" and each person has a right to form their own understandings and opinions. If they wish to persuade another person that their understanding is...

As a n00b to this forum I have decided to share my understanding of some aspects of diabetes, some of which may vary from convention. I am a type 1.5 diabetic (my definition of a type 2 who starts to take insulin) and hopefully will regain type 2 status in the not too distant future. Apart from...

How much exercise do you do and what is your blood pressure?

Once it is worn out you are a type 1. On the way out you will be type 1.5. It doesn't recover, all you can do is decrease the amount it needs to produce. Fasting reading of 7 is too high and eating a breakfast with 66% carbs is only ok if you have half a cup maximum, cooked. That's about 15g...

Steve, Think of it this way, you need to consume 3500 calories per week less than your basal to lose half a kg or burn it in exercise.Do both and you get 1kg a week, in fact at 141kg a bit more. Basal varies with age, height and weight but say at age 45 and 180cm then your basal is around...
