Healing Of Type 1 Diabetes

Wow, amazing if she truly was cured, would be good to hear from her again so many years later to see how she is getting on.

I’m not holding too much hope for a cure, I may see something similar in my time but I very much doubt the nhs would fund it, such like as an artificial pancreas, I have seen some people hacking their pumps on YouTube and they are able to just leave it all day as the cgm talks to the pump. Incredible!

As amazing as this would be, I am enjoying learning to look after myself in the meantime and take things slower. Before my diagnosis, I did not look after myself properly. I put stress and work before everything else, I worried about little things which I then realised don’t matter so much in the grand scheme of things when I was rushed to hospital in a severe dka. I didn’t eat right, smoked an ecig all day long.

Since Thursday 29th October my diagnosis day this year I quit my ecig and started eating healthy with lots of whole grain, veg and fruit. I look into the foods I eat to find out how they benefit me instead of looking in the cupboard for sugary snacks. My diagnosis is weirdly a blessing as I will now take care of myself for the rest of my life and take nothing for granted!!!
 

I reversed type 2 D because the Lord God Almighty answered my prayers

How exactly did you get healed? Are you sure your Lantus isn't spoiled by heat?

If Lantus (or any other insulin) was spoiled by heat, her blood glucose would go up, not down. Faith and science, far from being in opposition, work together. Therefore I, a Maths graduate and Bible-believing Christian, believe that the Type 1 diabetes that I have suffered from for 53 years, is being healed and one day will be completely. I cannot see any other rational explanation for the fact that over the past few days, my insulin intake has gone down by 10 per cent, and I'm still having hypos. And if you're a Christian reading this, please pray for me, Martin from Norwich - the past few days have been intense.
 

Hi Martin,

Welcome to the forum.

Tha past few days have been intense for me too in this heatwave.
No hiding from it grafting outdoors in sun traps. I've dropped my basal & skipped the odd bolus too,
Treating more lows than I'd like..
But then, I need to adjust my insulin requirements when traveling to hotter countries due to heightened insulin sensitivity with the heat too. So no surprise...

Best of luck.

I too often find I need highly reduced insulin levels at some points

I put it down to heat causing:

1, more activity as outside more
2, I eat less when hot
3, minor weight loss due to (2)

I also find I drink massively more so that *may flush through more??

I know it’s the above as come cooler times I’m back to where I started :-(
 

Indeed. Another scenario is when I do gigs? I tend to fast hours prior. (Can't eat before a gig bellowing on a full stomach.)
Do a show just as the basal is tailing off. (Even late for the next shot by an hour?) The excersise from the energy heat & sweat increases sensitivity as my body & brain demands more BG. I can hover around the 4.8/ 5mmol mark..

Metabolism. The music is Heavy metal, so I don't feel my experience could sit right regarding any other reason.
 
Hi, I had a similar experience almost 5/6 years ago. After 15 years of type 1 I've got a weird inner moment and after that, for a week, my insulin need dropped to the 10% (90% was supplied by the body). What have you done? How's going now? How can we reach you?
Thanks

Did you have Covid recently?
The amount of insulin I needed dropped significantly when I had it.
All back to normal now though.

No. It was years ago sorry. It was on 2018. It was weird. The thing is that I saw there that it was not about not having cells, but instead that the brain somehow says the pancreas to not work. This makes the difference.

Thanks
 
Well, I seem to be sat here after another gig.. (yep, “the devil’s music.” )

My basal tailed off hours ago. & I even tripped into hypo territory.. Meter confirmed the numbers with the sensor. T1 for 46 years. I blame it on the instability of my Lantus basal..

I just want to share my story with you all in hopes that it can be an encouragement.

Thank you so much for that and I hope the years since you started this thread and today have brought you wisdom and joy. I'm a believer, errant, and I don't like church. God has saved my life many times and it brings tears to my eyes to realize how close to me God is. I have a new doctor and on hearing my history, she said that God must be keeping me alive for a reason and thinks I should ask what it is. I told her that God loves the 'little' people, the struggling nobodies like me. I'm a link in a chain beyond my comprehension.
 
The human spirit quite often gets undermined regarding topics like these. In the absence of understanding “how & why.”
Certain essence of human character can be tricked into underestimating personal involvement regarding achievements..
Quite often attributed to “something else.” From my understanding of “faith” in a deity. They (gods.) never for some reason answer personal questioning on “why pick me.”
We have evolved with the ability to survive. (Like a lot of species.) As top of the food chain. We have created “god” in our own image to serve our own purpose.
I could ramble on how I feel that that the relevant “book” documents astrological movements & observations aligned with natural catastrophes in the absence of science. But there was a prime directive in Genesis regarding going anywhere near that “tree.”
 
Hi Miriam,
Wow quite the experience you had. How are you doing now?
I am doing wonderful now, thank God. Thanks for asking. I have 2 healthy boys, 2 yrs and 4 months old. A couple years ago my doctor ordered a blood test to see if my body was producing insulin, as I had shared my testimony with her and she wanted to disprove it. Instead it showed I'm producing some of my own insulin! She couldn't explain that as after the 14 years of T1D I'd had, there should have been no insulin production. I got an insulin pump that links with a CGM and gives insulin just when needed instead of all the time. I can go hours sometimes without I kicking in, in fact I am sitting here without the insulin hooked up and my sugars are between 5 and 6. But really, all I have done is believed in Jesus Christ who can do anything!
I'll find a way to give you my contact privately once I figure out how if you would like to chat more as I realize not everyone likes hearing this type of talk
 
Thank you they have.
Yes I am sure God has a purpose for you! I believe He loves the 'little' people too
 
However it works for each individual one of us, the fact that it works is a great thing.
 
This sounds interesting, I've been feeling strange for awhile now, but I suspect that was from incorrect dosing, might see a clearer picture once I begin using the omnipod later this month, Would be interesting to hear about your path away from the grips of this disease
