I’m a type one diabetic. What do I need to know that I already don’t?
(I work out daily, in top percentiles for vo2 max, weight and diet is under control…. But could always be better (Bateman))

Been there, Mike Fave has some good content about controlling blood sugar as well as Chris master John and their both peat influenced. Also I’d go to the doctor if you’re seriously concerned.

What is it you think you know about diabetes? Hard to assume.
But to start. Type 1 diabetes is not inherited. It can be cured. The more you avoid sugar, the more your body won't produce insulin.
My own hot take (since I never had type 1 diabetes) is taking insulin injections will keep you type 1 diabetic just as the more you wear glasses the more your eyesight deteriorates. Insulin is overrated. You don't rely on it to absorb sugar as potassium is what does that. Insulin only lowers blood sugar by signalling the liver to convert blood sugar to fats, among many other things it does.
People talk about insulin sensitivity without really knowing what it means. It just means so many things to many people.
Imho, insulin can be considered a stress hormone. The less of it the better, along Peat's definition of what a stress hormone is.
Blood sugar control is more voodoo than science. The science is simple if not for the medical establishment have their own wrong takes on it to feed their pharma parasitic corporations, especially as they are bent on making Ozempic another blockbuster drug.

Would you have time to expound on this? I can remember Peat, I think, saying one day insulin would be considered malpractice in treating a diabetic. What would be your thoughts if you knew a type 1?

@nofreepeat Older studies on children's with type 1 diabetes showed a significant improvement in symptoms after removal of the parathyroid glands.
This means that there is a big connection to calcium regulation.
Calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium.
