[QUOTE="Blueflame, post: 2695122, member: 587720"] Awaiting for the results of the antibody test, but based on weight, history of diet and exercise, and medical history of celiac disease the consultant reckons that it’s type 1, and put me straight on 16 units of basal insulin and the appropriate dose of bolus insulin with each meal. Personally I’d much prefer a t2 diagnosis. Appreciate that some/most people will continue with their normal diet and lifestyle, but that’s not for me. I haven’t lost my pancreas, and I’d rather not lose a leg either. Back when I was diagnosed with cluster headache that was supposedly also a life-long condition caused by some sort of issue with the hypothalamus, but my attacks ceased altogether since November 2008. There’s at least one instance of a t1 diabetic regaining insulin. Some people insist that he was most likely wrongly diagnosed, although I doubt they have access to his medical records. What if he’s for real? Appreciate some people are skeptical of alternative medicine… but after going misdiagnosed for years with two other conditions, and fighting with the pharmaceutical establishment for 26 years, allopathic medicine doesn’t exactly inspire me with a ton of confidence. From checking my blood sugar levels after meals, I’ve noted that on a my regular, seemingly healthy diet, I’d still be going close to 10 hours per day with around double the normal healthy blood glucose of a non-diabetic, due to the spike effect. I’m not here for the craic, support, advice, or reassurance. I’m here to those who are pushing the envelope. [/QUOTE]
