Remission without insulin therapy on gluten-free diet in a 6-year old boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Remission without insulin therapy on gluten-free diet in a 6-year old boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22729336 Abstract "A 5-year and 10-month old boy was diagnosed with classical type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) without celiac disease. He started on a gluten-free diet after 2-3 week without need of insulin treatment. At the initiation of gluten-free diet, HbA1c was 7.8% and was stabilised at 5.8%-6.0% without insulin therapy. Fasting blood glucose was maintained at 4.0-5.0 mmol/l. At 16 months after diagnosis the fasting blood glucose was 4.1 mmol/l and after 20 months he is still without daily insulin therapy. There was no alteration in glutamic acid decarboxylase positivity. The gluten-free diet was safe and without side effects. The authors propose that the gluten-free diet has prolonged remission in this patient with T1DM and that further trials are indicated." -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |

IF in fact it was just going without gluten that produced this result, you would think they would feature that in the summary, because it would indeed be a powerful and profound point. But no mention is made, despite indicting gluten, not refined carbs in general. So, call me skeptical.... |

As usual, you're missing the point. Yes, it was a low-glycemic gluten-free diet. Which you could have ascertained for yourself with a little digging. And it apparently got a 6 year old child (and a NON-Celiac) off of insulin and his diabetes is now in remission. The diet was the same generally used for patients with Celiac disease. The point was that going gluten-free presented no side effects, was safe, etc. And that by DIET alone, remission was possible. Not that going gluten-free was solely responsible for the remission. See: "further trials are indicated." In the meantime, NO DRUGS! And I know how that must just break your drug-loving, drug-pushing heart. BOO freakin' hoo. -- Dogman Then the report is one half-assed presentation. To indict gluten and not have one word about the fact that the diet was actually a low glycemic diet in the summary is completely misleading. How about if I did an anecdotal report about producing weight loss in a diet that excluded potatoes. And talked about that, not the fact that it also was low glycemic, low calorie, or whatever else it was? In other words, IMO, from the summary and the complete lack of mention that it was actually a low glycemic diet, it's just another example of gross distortion in a desperate attempt to target wheat. |

Actually, you're just a half-assed intellect. To indict gluten and not have one word about the fact that the diet was actually a low glycemic diet in the summary is completely *misleading. It's not misleading at all. That's why it's necessary to read the details of studies, and not just the abstracts. Yeah right. According to you, the patient was actually on a low glycemic diet. Yet in the summary all they talk about is that the diet was gluten free and how that allegedly produced the results. And THAT is the scientific method? It would be like me putting someone on Atkins LC, having them lose 100 lbs, have normal BG levels, etc, and then writing an article summayr where I talk about how they gave up jelly beans. But it does show the methods and intellect by which you have arrived at the remarkable conclusions that: HIV is harmless HIV is not the cause of AIDS AIDS is caused by poor diet and lack of sleep No virus can cause cancer Anything else you'd like to add to your list of ignorance for all to see today? |
