Ok, carnivore has fixed a lot of things for me. Only one thing left. The diabetes. Is no fun at all. I eat virtually Zero carbs a day and I like a Type one Diabetic. I need insulin to stay between 70 to 140 mg/dL my CGM reports i maintain that 85% of the time. The other 15 % is like between 141 and 160. I imagine as time goes on i will grow more steady. I the near future i will ask my doc to test my C-peptide again to see how much insulin my pancreas is making. Also test for the enzyme to see if it am now LADA.

If your pancreas is not making enough (or any) insulin, is a pancreas transplant in the cards for you? (I almost wrote, "in the carbs for you" 😄.)

My late husband (died 25 yrs ago) was a type 1 diabetic for decades before quick and easy glucometers were available, let alone CGMs. He had a kidney transplant in 1992, but of course, was still insulin dependent. Pancreas transplants were just beginning to be talked about. He did get an insulin pump, but it was probably pretty primitive compared to today's. I haven't kept up with medical news about that.
