[QUOTE="Neohdiver, post: 1108705, member: 258692"] Some of that, I'm sure - but my experience across many medical forums is that those who seek out (and stay active in) medical forums are often those finding out what works when medical science still tells us it is a chronic progressive disease. I'm likely one of the extremes - but I do enough research for any new condition that I diagnosed my daughter's rare disease when her doctor was sure there was nothing seriously wrong with her, told him what tests to run, he humored me and then started wiping the egg off his face by pretending it was his idea - he didn't need to be too embarrassed. I identified he disease in about a month - most of my daughter's peers went years from first doctor's visit to diagnosis. Diabetes is no exception for me. By the afternoon of my diagnosis I had identified a low carb diet as an essential - and changed my diet that day. Within 3 days my BG was normal 97% of the time. At the moment, I'm actively researching whether to combine my LC diet (which manages by BG well, but does not induce remission) with either fasting or an 800 calorie variation of the Newcastle diet (the latter of which induced remission in a high percentage of the formal studies). My challenge will come when diabetes is no longer a novelty (~3 years down the road) - one of the reasons I want to drive toward remission while I'm motivated. . . . but check back in 2.5 years and see how recently I've updated my stats (and if I'm still posting). :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
