[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2695175, member: 401801"] Type 2 here, and have a bunch of autoimmune and other conditions, some of which I can treat alternatively, some of which I can't. My T2 responds very well to a low carb diet, so I'm usually asymptomatic and without medication. Same goes for the rheumatism, as long as I don't indulge in cow milk products I'm pretty much all good. My thyroid literally tries to strangle me if I don't take my tablets, so no other course of action there, though I did add in zinc and B6 to more efficiently use the supplemented hormones, as my body doesn't do much with the tablets on their own. Sometimes, combinations work. I hope that, if it is T1 in your case, you're catching it early and can preserve some beta-cells with your current and future plans of action. If the islets are dead and gone though, there's no bringing them back to life, and insulin is the only recourse. In the meantime though, if you do experiment, and I think you will no matter what, [I]test a lot, double check a lot, and if anything seems to be getting out of hand, call in the cavalry[/I]. Diabetic keto-acidosis is quite deadly and can come on very quick, so... While I have a feeling your track record with other conditions and alternative treatments makes you an excellent test subject for your own health, and very much on top of things, just, you know... Be safe. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Good luck with your endeavors, because, well, who knows what you might discover... Jo [/QUOTE]
