The Evidence

 
 
1.   My original diagnosis.  No mention of a C-Peptide test and no mention of antibiotics.  I know that I did not receive any.  The word "viral" is inaccurate, because it was passed on by phone by my family doctor as a suggestion, which was not actually verified.  The actual cause was not determined; it was some sort of a cold-like infection.
 
2.  The graph showing basal insulin daily use in units of Lantus® per day and key.  A high dosage indicates a high blood glucose load (which is controlled).  I am on a no carbohydrate, low glycemic, and low calorie diet.  An.  I do not drink, nor smoke, nor do drugs.  Antibiotics demonstrate the cause to be infection related.
 
  • Look at the pattern of infections (with or without symptoms) and their treatment on the original diagnosis and on the graph.
 
3.  C-Peptide test result.
 
4.  Thyroid tests.
 
5.  My Diabetic Food Pyramid.
