[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1788967, member: 185674"] To answer your header text question: "Have I beaten type 1 or was it type 2?" If you have beaten anything, it was a Type 2. Type 1 unfortunately cant be beaten no matter what or how little you eat of anything, as your body will need basal insulin to maintain the body organs alive. Its not enough just to exercise and stop eating rubbish. Many young Type1s unfortunately have died due to such misconception, so please lets not feed that. If you get a pancreas transplant, you will of course be able to 'beat the type1', but by doing so, you move into another category of chronically exposed folks that need life-long medication and care to stay healthy, as to avoid transplanted organ rejection by your immune system. And this by itself in some categories are considered a worse condition than Type1 itself... [/QUOTE]
