[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 922523, member: 138639"] Oh man [USER=22857]@ChrisMaleType1[/USER] , that sounds scary :/ Well, I have been reading the Diabetes Solution by Dr. Bernstein, and in his book he states that Type 1 can develop do to multiple small attacks on the beta cells rather then just one large one as previously though. He thinks that in cases something triggers an attack and a person may have diminished capacity to produce insulin and this results in glucose spikes after carby meals which creates toxicity to the remaining cells. Prolonged exposure to high BS eventually kills more and more beta cells and those spikes then last longer and longer, killing more and more beta cells. This circle continues until eventually it is discovered and the person is diagnosed with T1D. It CAN be fairly fast, or take a while to develop, everyone is different and there is no real way to no for any single person. Do you mind if i ask what your blood pressure readings and creatinine levels were when you began having problems? Did you notice one thing before the other - like did you watch your blood pressure get higher and higher and then start seeing your creatinine levels jump ? I am curious as this may help me, or OP or others diagnosed later in life to avoid the same. Is everything ok now? [/QUOTE]
