  1. Where did i say i was talking exclusivly about type I? All you know is the strawman. Type I only accounts for little more than 5% of all cases.
  2. Type I is an autoimmune responce that attacks the insulin producing cells in the pancreas. While this process is occuring the pacreas makes less and less insulin. By the time you are diagnosed, it really depends where you are in that process. Some people can be diagnosed while still preducing levels of insulin. But yeah, at some stage inevitably there will be none.
  3. Depends on how much insulin they are producing naturally. But indeed eventually every type I will be on some level of insulin.
  4. This strawman again? You erally don't have anything else? Everybody with diabetese should be working with your doctor. If you catch it early enough the doc will work with you on diet and excercise and regular glucose testing. If you cannot keep in normal limits medication may be used. If that doesn't work only then will insulin be advised.
  5. Diet is the first course or treatment, insulin last. I read your research from 1922, our understanding of diabetes has moved on, substantially, since then. I trust you have read mine, from this century?
  6. Yeah a crazy site. Fine. Actually in type II it can negate for injecting insulin. But in type I, it can reduce. I should have been clearer. Still you seem to be arguing against the research still. You may suggest i do more learning. But may i also suggest the same. You started with this. When its not just about insulin levels, its also about sugar in the blood stream. And its not in and out of the blood stream its stopping it from going in to the fat. Which is, completely wrong. Thats correct. But i have been clear. Diet reduce insuline for type I. Can eleiminate insulin for type II. Whats the most prevelent type of diabetese? Type II. So whats wrong with concentrating on that?
  7. Typo. Thats all you have left now. What i ws trying to say, is that it contradicts, you specificaly, who say diet has no effect its entirely about insulin. Which you cannot back up. I have never said diet is the only treatment. But i have posted research that says diet, excercise then insulin. And you? Nothing.
  8. Not necessarily. Early on it type I it can be managed without insulin in some people. Not all. But some. Type I is not no insulin production, it can be very little and that can progressively get worse.
  9. From the early 1900's. No what don't? Yes. Not EVERY post says that. But many do.
  10. Some are abstracts only, some are not. My work is reasearch. I know how to use Pubmed and sitations. I do review of literature all the time. I work at one of the best hospitals in America.
  11. Yeah i can see how that could be see and undo or cancel. That was inacurate. However its one word and everywhere else i have been pretty clear. I piosted a link that say can reduce by up to a third the amount of insulin for type I. I even reposted it. So its not really me misunderstanding that. I ain't getting confused about anything. Again i have made the distinction between I and II many times. I not only have several family memebers with diabetese, so i know the advice given to them. I have an uncle who went blind because he refused that advice. If you think i am picking and choosing, go read the entire link.
  12. Where am i changing the goal posts? Very few type I diabetics create no insulin. Very few. Most create some.
  13. Sorry to hear that. Are you type I? What it proves is in you it cannot. what it does prove as several people are trying to argue here is diet has no effect. It did have an effect. It does not work for 100% of people. Type I it can help for a while, its generally the first type of treatment. But as the reasearch i posted says, the worse your case, the faster you will have to use insulin after that. In type one it can reduce insulin, but at some stage you may have to up your dose more and more.
  14. Thats not what i am saying, in fact i said several times (including my first post) raw food has nothing to do with this. I have also not said people should stop taking insulin. The research is clear, you can stop or reduce insulin with good food and excersise. So i am not trying to make the case for the OP. But nobody, but me, has included any research.. let alone solid.
  15. I asked for evidence. Lets take a look what you cam up with shall we? http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/consumer/learn.htm 1922? 1922? Research for 1922? You must be joking. Hillarious! Carbohydrate metabolism! Which is what every single link i have posted says. Reduce carboydrates, which leads to less blood sugar and...... less or no insulin! You don't read these links do you?
