Treatment of diabetes with insulin-free vegetarianism?
Hello Dears. I am a 25-year-old man with type 1 diabetes. The amount of glucose without an insulin injection is 240, which decreases by 130 with insulin injections. For a week I've been vegetarian; for example, two apples, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, oranges and almonds make up my meal. My blood glucose level has stabilized(130) two hours after meals without injecting insulin. My question is: Is the amount of glucose 130 normal when the diet continues without insulin injections? Doesn't any danger threaten me?

I stopped eating meat in 1978. I got type 1 diabetes in 1980, There is no way I would be alive today without insulin.
You have a pretty carb-heavy diet. If I ever had to go without insulin, my lifestyle would become extremely low carb (which was what they did a century ago). 130 is not a great number.
Where is your protein coming from?
Did you get a C-peptide test?

You did great job. Apples, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, oranges and almonds, all of them can grow in fridge without ''nature ground', with minimum 3 of each same in group for init, in white plastic bag.
(If you're in hot sun direct area, artificial chlorella in polished transparent pipes with led lights. Higher tech with water circulating is required, and combined pure natural rich basalt and rich granite powders in separated pipes for growth or multiplying)
Glad you're doing it.
Passive heating is "clothes for skiers" made from combinations nylon, silk, cotton, taffeta, microfiber, polyester, porotex.

Type 1 diabetes is a life long problem. There is no real cure.
The vegetarian, whole foods diet can certainly help, though. It certainly helps people with type 2 diabetes, but I don't know how much it can help with type 1.. Do NOT ever stop checking your sugar and make sure you have insulin in case you need it but, if you don't need the insulin because your sugar appears fine, don't take it.

Hello, don t know how much this will help you but passive heating as been known to have a impact on blood sugar doctors can only recommend so much cause some things can be a health and safety risk without supervision, but theres evidence suggesting that being immersed in hot water of 40.c + for 1 hour decreases blood sugar by 20% this is 3.c above core temperature, whilst as running or cycling only decreases it by 9%, when the body Is immersed in water above core temperature it activates heat shock protein and works the heart and body to try and maintain its normal temperature its like having a workout without any strain upon the body and it also burns calories, I m not saying to do this however cause I don t know your situation with the injections but there has been notes to say it has a impact on type 2 diabetes here is a little article maybe you can look into it for yourself.

if done daily it will probably boost immune system, metabolism and plenty of other benefits as the body stays adjusted

Your A1C is the best indication of how well your blood sugar levels are controlled over the long term. 130 is still fairly high but not terrible. Many type 1s eventually need insulin pumps as the auto-immune destruction is islet cells progresses.
