Hey has anyone thought about creating a website that polls T1
diabetics for suspected causes? Possibly listing out 200-300 items. I
think this would be great place to start as far as getting suggestions
for these items. I know I've heard milk as one, but it would be

I found a "carb-friendly" product at the store today that said it had

would like to have arguments in favor of the 512.

After Old Al's pointer to calculate my HOMA factor to find out if I am
insulin resistant I finally managed to calculate a conversion factor for
insulin from pmol/L to microUnits/L in order to do so. My fasting
insulin was 40 pmol/L which equates to 5.8 microUnits/L and my last

I went for a routine visit to the diabetes nurse today, to check my A1c
results, basically.
The figure was 6%, down from a figure I've forgotten, but somewhere in
the region of 6.7% I think. She said that she hadn't seen better figures
