SR is also critical, very critical. But yes absolutely. I have known many people with type I in their 80's and healthy. They often do have more health challenges as they age but scrupulous self-care can prevent many of them.

The really good news is that we may find a cure through stems cells or pancreatic regeneration in the child's lifetime

I don't know their age of onset but the US average for onset is 14 years old, My grandfather was diagnosed at 18 long before medications and programs we now have - he was 87 and died of a stroke

Hi,

Here is the info I have regarding Type I:

Diabetes (Juvenile)

Treatment against interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6) decreases symptoms by 50% to 70%.

Type I linked to celiac disease, share common genes.

Type I linked to faulty immune response to wheat.

Losartan slows diabetic eye disease and kidney disease.

Proteolytic enzyme called Vymactive may reverse Type I.

Vit. C can prevent blood vessel damage related to Type I.

B cells, which make antibodies, go to the pancreas and tell T cells to attack insulin-making cells. Minimizing B cells or depleting B cells (at least temporarily) lets T cells function normally, which makes them tolerant of insulin cells. Benlysta is a new drug in trial to inhibit B cells, which is currently being tested for Lupus (Lupus is thought to be associated with B-cell over-stimulation).

Low dose naltrexone plus alpha lipoic acid, which has immune modulating effect, may improve type I symptoms.

Vitamin D reduces risk of Type I

Type I may be associated with faulty immune response to
cow's milk.

Virus may be linked to Type I

Tungstate improves pancreatic function.

Niacinamide has been shown to reverse some diabetes symptoms.

Mice injected with capsaicin counteracted the effect of malfunctioning neurons in the pancreas, resulting in a near cure.

Curcumin may be helpful for Type I diabetics.

note about niacinimide

niacinamide RAISES blood sugar. A special form called inositol was used in those studies, which hypothesize that type 1 is related to the old nutritional disorder, pellegra.

some peopme live a long life with type 1 diabetes. Two examples include Mary Tyler Moore and Richard Bernstein MD, author of Diabetes Solution.

Diabetes can be difficult to control, especially during the teen years when hormone levels are changing. Stress is detrimental to diabetes control, so be helpful to them, not hassling them. A high reading is not something they are necessarily at 'fault' for- they have not necessarily done something 'wrong' or failed to 'take care of themselves'.

Smoking is the worst thing anyone with diabetes can do to themselves and greatly increases the chances of complications and a possible shortened lifespan. If you are an adult in the life of a person with type 1, get them away from smoking role models and get cigarettes out of their home.
BTW, according to a study reported in Prevention magazine, watching R rated movies increases the chances of a young person smoking and drinking, even when not exposed to those habits in their homes.

Hi,

Niacinamide is helpful for Type I diabetics because it enhances B-cell production. Also, studies have shown that Type I's require less insulin when supplemented with niacinamide.

If you have a person with type 1, a glucose meter, and some niacinimide in the house, check this out for yourself.
Then repeat the experiments with inositol.
