[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1702773, member: 410240"] All the cases of Type1 being cured that I recall have been people going VERY low carb with no grains. "leaky gut" may have something to do with it. Lots of people with Type1 find a very low carb diet is a great way to get good BG control, therefore, I think the diet should be decided on this bases, not base on a small number of "outliners". Clearly in older people, often it turns out to be Type2 and not Type1. Given that 25% of people with Type1 never test positive for antibodies, it is clearly hard to know if someone had Type1, to begin with. Autoimmune disease often improve with "low carb", and Type1 is an autoimmune process. Yet [B]clearly[/B], we know from before the discovery of insulin, that "low carb" is not enough for most children with diabetes, for some reasons, there never used to be as many cases of Type1 in older people as we now get, and Type2 was uncommon in those days.
