Hope for Type 1 Childhood Onset Diabetics From the September
2003 edition of Dr. Fuhrman’s Healthy Times: I often am asked,
“Is your program appropriate for type I diabetics? Aren’t they
going to require insulin forever, no matter what they eat?” A
type 1 diabetic can never stop taking all insulin entirely like
a type 2 diabetic can. Even after adopting a high-nutrient, Eat
to Live (ETL) dietary approach, they still will need to take
regular injections. However, stopping insulin is not the reason
for the type 1 diabetics to adopt this approach. With
conventional care, the long-term prognosis for a type 1 diabetic
is dismal. More than one-third of all type 1 diabetics die
before the age of fifty. I contend that this need not be the
case. Type 1 diabetics need not feel doomed to a life of medical
disasters and an early death sentence. A different approach I
find that when type 1 diabetics adopt the ETL program, they can
lower their insulin requirements by about half. They no longer
have swings of highs and lows
