[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2202260, member: 53162"] Hello and welcome [USER=518916]@85percent[/USER] :) Dealing with a type 1 diagnosis is hard, if there have been antibodies detected then you will inevitably need to start taking insulin at some point, however the fact you aren't yet means you're experiencing a honeymoon phase where your pancreas is producing enough insulin to cope, however at some point this will change and you will require insulin, there isn't any way of sustaining this currently known to humans. Watching your blood glucose levels carefully will tell you at which point it will be necessary to start taking insulin and it's on this basis recording your levels is important. No one can tell you how long this is as its unique to you. It's good to take vitamins but this won't affect your bodies ability to produce insulin, maintaining your diet and keeping carbs to a minimum will help. You have to prepare yourself for the fact that you will inevitably require insulin though at some point, sorry but this is the reality you will have to face. [/QUOTE]
