I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes but then....

To preface my comments-I am writing this as a avidly practising christian who does believe in miracles.

While I believe that miracles can and do occur I also believe in science and medicine. I believe that God uses doctors and medical professionals to assist us in our health.

First of all please read what @Antje77 wrote.

Second I have had a number of health issues in my life including asthma as well as type 2 diabetes. While I have been prayed over for health, what has actually put my diabetes and asthma into remission has been going very very low carb. I do believe that God assisted me in finding this site and the amazing people that helped and supported me when I was first diagnosed with diabetes but I also believe that if I go back to eating more carbs my asthma is likely to return and my diabetes will definitely return.

I look around my faith community and see many many people there with a deep and profound prayer life suffering with ill health. While I believe God can heal anyone I also believe that generally God respects the laws of science that he created. It is these very laws of science that allowed scientists and doctors to come up with treatment for many illnesses including diabetes.

Please please keep checking your blood glucose regularly.

Please also respect that others may not share your beliefs and this site is a resource for all irrespective of their faith.

Like @Antje77 I am happy that you have a supportive community but I would be very careful about assuming that you are now cured. We have had a number of T1 members post that their insulin needs have gone to zero while on "honeymoon".

There was also a study of T1s in Scotland where a (very small) number were found to be T2 or MODY instead of T1 and several came off insulin altogether.

Do you have that reference? This is one from Turkey. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi...uMg_doFNpfBhnUl3hAZCJv3ypPuvieS1bLz640jcLoZQM

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and was injecting insulin 3/4 times a day, given a freestyle libre 2. Blood levels spiking to 19 and even sometimes 17 upon waking up.

But people at my church prayed for me and now I haven't had no insulin for 7 days and my sugar levels are normal. Even after a meal today at a restaurant my levels are normal without insulin. Jesus Christ has healed my pancreas and can heal anyone who calls upon him in truth and seeks him with all their hearts. He is a miracle working God!

Hi.

Another Christian here.


Agreeing whole heartedly with @VashtiB & the others who are more knowledgeable on T1.

Big believer in "God helps those, who help themselves"

And most of that is just learning what impacts us, in any illness.
And how much effect we can have on it & what can medically been done to assist control.


All provided, if you believe by the creator.

Keep your faith, but do keep checking as advised.

Stay well.
Best wishes.

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). After that week things came back ad "usual". How are you now?
