[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 944320, member: 30007"] For someone engaging in debate on a forum, you are very brusque, and certainly demonstrate an "I'm always right" attitude that can be slightly annoying, however, I can't say I disagree with the comment relating to modern diabetes treatment methods. This particular post appears to portray a misunderstanding of the management of T1 and some of the additional medical issues unrelated to insulin levels that affect T1s, which are not limited to auto-immune conditions and bone structure issues. Whilst I am not advocating that T1s should eat what they want and dose huge amounts of insulin, the only area that you can truly control Glucose levels is via food intake and there are multiple ways of doing this. Bernstein's is one. Unfortunately there are many other factors that can cause hyperglycaemia (where we regard it to be more than the "normal" levels) and these require insulin to control. Even with reduced insulin resistance in general, it is still required and still effectively is an induced form of hyperinsulinemia as a result of hyperglycaemia over which a T1 has no control, save for sitting in a sterile box, and doing absolutely nothing. As most of us don't fancy that kind of life, many of us make a fist of getting on with it. As exogenous insulin induces Hyperinsulinemia under any circumstances and there is essentially no research into what might be considered a "safe" level of insulin, there seems little point in worrying, as a T1, whether we have it. It's a bit like death. All T1s know they are mortal. We do stuff to stay alive. Many of us do stuff to stay alive with as few of the rapid onset nasties that hyperglycaemia can induce as possible. Excess insulin is a fact of life for a T1. The question is simply to what degree. As there are many other things out there trying to kill us, it is basically a risk assessment, and to try and enjoy life. As we are inherently at greater risk of all the side effects of hyperinsulinemia, than anyone else, including T2s and non-diabetics, even with a low carb diet, there seems little point in over focussing on it.
