Fist post and why this blog.

I noticed a pattern. I'm at a T1D support group and someone is always asking questions about Honeymoon (remission), Food sensitivites, Gut Health... and I keep cuting and pasting my personal notes on those comments. I think it's easier to just make a blog and share all my resources. Hopefully this will help parents or newly diagnosed T1D (type 1 diabetes) individuals. Remember, the information contained here is not medical advice, it's just our personal journey! Enjoy

One month after hospital stay he entered partial remission, then almost total remission. He's currently on 0 (zero) to 1(one) units of daily Humalog as needed and no daily basal insulin. He started with 11 units of Lantus and about 10-11 units of Humalog daily. We are are are WFPBLO (whole food plant based low oil) and one thing I wish I could do right off Diagnosis was get him tested for food sensitivities . The hospital ordered some blood tests at diagnosis, for Celiac, the problem is those tests are not very sensitive. I believe he was missed. After much headache and playing with his diet, we finally did a stool test. It gave us great insight! I look back...
