[QUOTE="worrywart, post: 852606, member: 45687"] All, This is an update to my thread i started 3 years ago here: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/type-1-5-lada-scared.30656/[/URL] Feel free to read it for background but basically i had issues with my BS for a short amount of time at first diagnosis, after this i went raw vegan My lHbA1C has been consistently between 3.8-4.6% I usually only check my blood through A1C's every 3-4 months and I rarely check my blood glucose day to day When i do fasting is around 4.4mmol/L, after meal (depending on what i eat) always below 7.0mmol/L, more often than not below 5.5mmol/L I've had numerous antibody tests over the years and despite dropping (almost to zero at one point) i am still positive for GAD and IA2. Typically i eat 80% raw, 20% cooked grains all organic Exercise regime is currently run 3 miles 7days week or equivalent I take a lot of supplements However..... Eating in this way however is very costly, would it be cheaper for me to manage T1? Probably..... I also struggle with anxiety a LOT, worrying about what may come, bodily sensations etc. The diet can be restrictive, i am always analyzing what i buy/eat and the "rules" i've set up for myself are taxing I am lucky to have had the opportunity to do this when most people who get T1 don't but the point of this thread is to explain that although im doing this diet and it appears to be working to prevent the disease there has been a cost to my lifestyle. Personally i feel that while im eating and exercising like this i will be able to keep T1 at bay indefinitely (Beta cell regrowth > destruction) (in my mind) but at a cost and whether i want to continue like this forever i do not know. If you are interested in the finer details of what ive been doing and want to try it for yourself feel free to message me. But as i mention its not all rosey Comments? [/QUOTE]
