[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2695259, member: 527103"] With regards to "preserving" your insulin producing beta cells, there is evidence that injecting insulin will help wit this. As our livers continue to drip out glucose through the day and night regardless how low carb our diet is, we need insulin. In the early days of the honeymoon period, we still have some insulin producing beta cells and they may be able to stop our BG from rising too high but this can put a lot of demand on the few remaining beta cells causing them to become exhausted much quicker. Hence, giving them a helping hand with injected insulin will give them a bit of restbite and allow them to last longer. I am happy that there are alternative therapies to help reduce spikes but I do not believe there are alternatives to injecting insulin for those of us who definitely have Type 1 diabetes. [/QUOTE]
