Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark14400" data-source="post: 1395380" data-attributes="member: 362820">Hi,Just read a BBC news item about reversing diabetes including Type 1 amazingly !!!  (OK it's only in mice) if put on an extreme LCHF "fasting" diet for 5 days in every 30. What I understand is the starvation bit sends the old beta cells into a panic and triggers the pancreas to create islet (insulin producing cells) - don't get the science to be honest. As I'm on insulin I'm not stupid enough to try this at the moment without talking to my consultant but all the same quite excited that it maybe possible to reverse Type 1. Is this old news for you guys ? Is this something my DSN would laugh at and tell me to "Get Real". I am also very sceptical about medical advances based on news stories as they seem to change daily. Should I mention this the next time I meet my Consultant....Or have a reality check... on the positive...reading the article has made me happy for the first time in months....so that can't be bad....<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Best regards....and hope you are all well,Mark</blockquote>
