Yeah, but I have the type 1 diabetes, which is btw. the national disease in Finland.

One of the things that started the disease was an influenza back when I was kid. I also have the genes from my family, so suddenly I didn't have insulin in my body anymore. It has nothing to do with my lifestyles.

I've been taking care of my disease since I was a kid and believe me, I need my daily shots of insulin.



Yep, totally. I do Paleo and while it but reduced my daily insulin in half, I still use a total 20U a day. It's definitely needed. Type 1 is NOT Type 2. It's a shame, frankly, that they are both called "Diabetes."
