[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2119547, member: 256617"] In your shoes, I would do what I could to protect what beta cell function is left for as long as possible; this means taking as much pressure off of the pancreas as possible. I know metformin can help with protection, so it might be worth asking your HCP if this is viable. I think you may need to understand what is fuelling your objection to exogenous insulin, as this is in simple terms like a person with limited vision wearing glasses or contact lenses (apologies for the bad analogy, the point is that insulin is required). I am framing this response in what I would do with the education I have picked up; I would follow the Bernstein protocol, and become expert at the foods / lifestyle which work for my body to have the minimal amount of insulin intervention. Whilst your anxiety is understandable, your path has been trodden by the Type 1 experts on this site, so you can decide either a higher carb approach or lower, with full confidence of the best advice. You are not going into this without support. [/QUOTE]
