Message: <blockquote data-quote="FatEmperor" data-source="post: 943698" data-attributes="member: 207876">For Type 1 sufferers. it is crucial to minimize carb and moderate protein to limit exogenous insulin much as possible. Exogenous insulin enters the periphery, and much is needed as glucagon suppression in the pancreas ideally requires the localized insulin there to act on the alpha cells. (please watch this hugely important lecture from Professor Unger:  [MEDIA=youtube]VjQkqFSdDOc[/MEDIA] ). Type 1 people are exposed to the ravages of insulin / insulin resistance if they don't minimize their physiological needs via low carb living - a very long life is possible via this route, exploiting pure biochemical reality.Type 1 become Type 2 when over-requiring injected insulin, and Type 2 become Type 1 when they finally exhaust their pancreatic beta cells. The tragedy is that both can prevent progression of disease by removing the root causal factor - excessive carbohydrate. Please help others understand this fundamental reality. I'd suggest you google Dr. Jason Fung also - an insightful nephrologist who has rather cracked the case open....</blockquote>
