Hi folks.

Just joined and wanted to say howdy right proper.  My screen name is appropriate, as I have always been a skeptic, which is (I believe) why I am where I am now.  I've been carnivore for about 2 years so far, and nicely fat adapted.  Type 1 diabetic, but I have my A1C down to 6.1 from the 8.9 it was 4 years ago!  Cholesterol IS elevated, but I understand that is to be expected rather than feared.  No statins for me.  I feel good, and it FEELS good to find this place with other like minded people.  

After doing a lot of reading here in the last day or so, I have to say that I have been encouraged to join the group.  Good info and enthusiasm, with real honest replies.  I love it!  

Looking forward to it.

Welcome aboard John the @Skeptic 

We try to be a reasonable bunch over here.

I imagine as a Type 1, you've had a more challenging juggling act over the years than the rest of us would be familar with.

Welcome to Carnivore Talk John the Skeptic. Glad to have you aboard.
I think it’s a very good defense mechanism to be skeptical. It can help you from getting scammed and makes you want to do your own research.
We have another T1 diabetic on here that new to carnivore and I believe you could be a big help to him.

I appreciate the kind replies.  As a T1, there have been struggles, yes, but ultimately I think it has led me to a different (perhaps spelled "deeper") understanding of the carnivore diet.  Glad to be here, and hope I can bring some of my experience to the table, while gaining some answers to questions I will surely have going forward.
