How did u get the RX, when my dr said NO WY bc it’s dangerous for type 1s…? The slowing down of stomach emptying already happening to a lot of t1s is just made worse, I thought..

My insurance denied my doctors prescription for these meds. I states doing some research and there’s a good amount info on Allulose having some beneficial similar effects. I’m in the beginning stages of experimenting with it but so far I am seeing a difference. Also still exploring info on the pharma drug side as far as insurance goes. But, in the meantime this is promising at least.

Let’s hope that something good is around the corner for people with type 1 Diabetes! But I don’t think pharmaceutical companies would let it happen! That is why they could send people to moon , cars that drive themselves…..but after 100 years of research, still no cure for type 1 !!! If there is a cure tomorrow , pharmaceutical companies would start losing billions of dollars in selling type 1 diabetes products!

That is because Tara has probably eaten in moderation for most/all of her life. A T2 diabetic if they have any hope of all in reversing diabetes has to be much more careful. And in the end will most likely never approach their youthful pre-diabetic state. You will always have to watch what you eat. Good channels to watch are Jason Fung (MD), ken Berry (MD), Adapt Your Life (Dr. Eric Westman), Dr. Sten Ekberg, & Beat Diabetes.

Good information and great to hear that progress is being made. I was diagnosed at 26 yrs and back then the thinking was that within ten years there would be a cure. Well, just turned 58 and I kind of wrote off the whole cure bit a while ago. At least within my lifetime. This will be great for future generations but it probably won't impact me. I've found out how to live with Type 1 and to me the best advancement has been my Dexcom CGM. Makes diabetes management a lot easier. 😊

The better question is if you are a type 1 why the hell arent you using an insulin pump tied to a dexcom.

hahahaha I hate pumps. And Dexcom costs a bijillion more $$$. I prefer MDI + Afrezza. I've managed an A1c in the 5s without all the tediousness of pumps. My skin, in particular, hated infusion sites. It's good we have options. Because everybody prefers different things.

@@DiabetesNerd im lucky i was just pre diabetic so i wore a cgm for a month to plan my diet. The glue on the cgms is damn annoying so i can understand why you wouldnt like that. Friend wears a insulin pumo and it makes his life much easier but at the gym he has to be drinking sugar based gatorade to keep from going into a coma. Seen him go low one time and i told him he should have some candy or something in the office in case of emergency. Seems the tech keeps getting better and now they are figuring out how to fix betta cells so there could be a cure. Surprising considering how much the insulin companies would loose in profits.
