[QUOTE="increasingly cynical, post: 132174, member: 13842"] Hi All, I am now more than 2 years post being diagnosed with 'Type I' diabetes, with GAD well off the scale ( very high autoimmunity problem in other words) and, in reality have probably had this problem for around 10 years, with previous mis-diagnosis of the symptom cause. I have not taken insulin and despite dire warnings am not dead or blind, although it isn't fun and clearly there may be problems long-term. Nevertheless the postings I view here do not encourage me to take an alternative approach. There are a raft of 'hypo' problems and other problems with insulin. Are people simply swapping one problem with another? Are there any other 'Type 1s' out there who are not taking insulin and are still alive? Are they happy? What are their BGs? What are they doing to improve their condition? Do people on insulin feel it is giving them the quality of life they want? How quickly did they move to treatmetn and has it achieved what they accepted? As the name says.. still cynical but trying to gather information from those 'at the front line' :D [/QUOTE]
