New to Group
I’m interested in learning if anyone in the United States treats
Type 1 IDDM with Hulda Clark’s methods. Also, is anyone in this group
a CURED Type 1 diabetic? Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I’m new to the group. Type 2 about a year and a half. First a1c 8.2,
last a1c 6.4. Not on any medications, lifestyle changes and a few otc
vitamins. Any suggestions? I saw someone with a number of 4.7, how
did they manage that? Thanks.

Hi Tracy:
I am an old dog to this game (33 years type 1 with 4 years of
pumping). So far, no side effects from the disease.
As for the "to pump or not to pump" question, the concerns are how
closely are you currently tracking your diabetes and how would you
feel being tethered to the pump.
If you are not doing much to control your diabetes now, a pump won’t
really help except to continue providing a basal load. Then again, I
beliecve that four times a day (before each meal and bedtime) is
plenty to keep in good control.
Second, having a pump attached to your abdomen 24X7 can lead to some
embarrassing situations. I was vacationing on the Mexican Pacific
coast with an older injection set. Detaching the pump before going
into the water left me with a rather large piece of tape and a
plastic tube hangiong off the side. Small children ran away.
I like the pump because it means I can go for long jaunts and not
have to worry about packing vials and syringes. As for the concern
about weight gain, keep active. If you’re married, drag your spouse
out for walks and talks — it will improve your marriage as well (or
go to the zoo or the park for a picnic, etc., etc.). Just note that
if you start being more active after getting a pump, you will need
to reduce your basal — THAT IS THE KEY FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION.
Good luck,
Thom

No cured Type 1 diabetics here. Nor anywhere Dr. Clark has treated
type 1 diabetes.
In the US, we refer to people like Dr. Clark as snake oil sales people.

Hello Tracy

and i have had diabetes since 2000 and i know its a very tough
illness to deal with. and i have one bought with keto acidosis while

can be very expensive like $6000 for the machine and my diabetes
educator that the tubing for the pump runs like $3000 a year because
