[QUOTE="kesun, post: 519513, member: 39776"] Except when it comes to what used to be called "educationally sub-normal", when they tie themselves in knots trying to avoid the word "normal" by substituting "typically developing", "mainstream", "less cognitively challenged" and such euphemisms. I really don't like euphemisms. I'm not a T1 because my insulin failure is inborn, not auto-immune, and has been slowly deteriorating since birth rather than being lost all at once. But I'm with [USER=56687]@James12[/USER] in aiming for what Dr Bernstein defines as "normal" blood sugar. My latest Hb1Ac was 5.2 (I think: 33 in new money), and I aim for 4.6. I don't know what I'll do about driving when I have to go back on insulin (low carbing enabled me to come off it, but the point will come when my insulin production drops too low). Just keep my fingers crossed I have a sensible doctor such as [USER=102150]@Spiker[/USER]'s, I suppose. Putting into my system the carbs that I know used to damage it is not an option. Kate [/QUOTE]
