Bill replied to ChristinaNadine's discussion 'Told not Diabetic anymore after A1c of 5.2' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"No I have not but I would say it is time to get a new doctor it may be a combo of the deit and meds that is keeping you numbers low and after all is that not what we all should work toward"
Sheila Fitz replied to ChristinaNadine's discussion 'Told not Diabetic anymore after A1c of 5.2' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Yes, GAD antibodies don't lie. I don't remember what the percentage is to quote it, but a number of Type 1s still have some residual pancreatic function. There is a theory that if you go VLC as soon as you can, you might preserve some…"
RacheEH replied to ChristinaNadine's discussion 'Told not Diabetic anymore after A1c of 5.2' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"I feel I'm missing part of the puzzle too. Since I last posted earlier today I have had a b/s reading of 3.9. I just ate my tea early (mange tout, lettuce and chicken curry, no bolus required) and am comfortably back up to 5.8.I have questioned…"
Sheila Fitz replied to ChristinaNadine's discussion 'Told not Diabetic anymore after A1c of 5.2' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"RachEH, I am a LADA - latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult. I still make some insulin. It has been three years of eating VLC and exercising religiously. My last A1c was 5.2, but I was 5.1 for a year before that. (Endo says it's the same…"
"Please be careful and monitor your BG closely. I would be concerned that you may go into DKA quickly if something changes. The overall goal of any diabetic is to maintain (near) normal BG levels. If you can and choose to do that without insulin then…"

I hope you're still checking this post! What's going on with you now?
I'm a Type 1 and haven't taken any insulin for 12 days, initially as an experiment but now I'm totally unsure where to go from here. Today…"

"Exactly... I take about 30 units a day and don't get too many lows either... I just don't understand why these docs think it's so much safer to be at 6 ... when I can be at 4.9 or 5.2 and lead a perfectly normal and healthy life..."
