pandemonica Re: High serum ferritin — If your serum ferritin is high, then you may have a hereditary condition called Hemochromatosis which leads to the pancreas, liver, and kidneys oxidizing, literally *rusting*, which leads to diabetes, liver disease, and kidney diseases such as gout.
pandemonica Re: Resveratrol — Said to help against type II diabetes. See http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071002131152.htm . DOes it help against type I ? It's cheap and likely harmless. We could try it out and monitor our blood glucose and then post the results.

Maverick Re: Insulin injections — My Diabetes began as "type 2," ie controlled with oral medications. After 5 the oral meds became increasingly ineffective and I lost significant weight. I was resistant to changing to insulin injections - mostly fear of needles. However after beginning injections, my diabetes QUICKLY came under control. I have been using insulin for 4 years and wish I had begun it much earlier.
