Ok Another daft question from me but...

Is it possible for type 1 people who use insulin, to ever come off it and be "normal" if you know what I mean ?


I ask this as I watched some film about diabetes and they recon it's possible, through a special diet, I contacted this company last year and they did say it was posible, but did not run a course in the UK.
 
Yes a T1 CAN come off external insulin, but the procedure involves a pancreas transplant (or rather, addition), which is not uncomplicated surgery, is very rarely done on it's own and not without special circumstances or indications. More common with a kidney - 2 organs in one op - but both of these scenarios require you to be on immunosuppressants permanently, and a lot further down the road in the first place. Even islet transplant patients still require daily injections of insulin in 75-80% of cases.

Your body requires insulin to function even if you don't eat, so I don't think any "special" course or diet is going to do anything, except maybe empty your bank account...
 
without the above transplant it isnt possible, diet alone would not be sufficient and we would die :?
 
You CAN come off, but Stay healthy at the same time!!!!

Lorna, Hana is saying that you can't stay healthy off insulin, not that you can come off it.( I think :? )
 
Check Watercure2 dot com. Loads of great info for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.
 
Watercure......the infamous Dr Batmanjelly ? I don't think so. Apparently it 'cures' everything, so I'm told....... :lol:
 
Anyone ever watched the video called " Reversing Diabetes " ?

This is a link to there website, not much on there but I did have the dvd last year before I was type one and found it interesting.

Basicly it is for type2 I think, and you would have to become a VEGAN.

I like meat too much for that, and as meat has no carbs how do it matter if your a Vegan or not, lol

Anyway, what do you think ?

Worth googling the doc in the tree of life. Some interesting stuff from other sites, like:

"He has seen thousands of people cured from deadly diseases, including Type 1 Diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease and AIDS, but not a single documented case, no, not one – just his testimony, that’s why they are considered miracle cures, you have to have a lot of faith to believe anything this guy is selling, including belief in balancing your aura (woo). Simply put, all of this natural medicine **** is ancient, dating back to when people, on average, lived to the ripe old age of 25. Now we have science based medicine and live to an average age of 70 – case closed."
