Can I do something with my 14-year-old kid who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes?
My child has 2 markers for type 1 diabetes, and my wife and daughter are already type 1 diabetics. I want to get my son tested to see if we can stop type 1 diabetes from developing through nutrition. What steps should I take?
I have a question about type 1 diabetes in a child. I've listened to almost every podcast, and you often say the body doesn't make mistakes and talk about other autoimmune diseases, but I haven't heard much about type 1. I might be crazy to think it could be reversed, but I can't help but think back to my kiddo's first few years of life. He was put on PPIs and had a surgery around 9 months that involved large amounts of antibiotics. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 3, and he is now 6. What are your thoughts around type 1 diabetes and whether it can be reversed? Where would I start? Nothing I find on the internet gives me hope, but I believe in our bodies' ability to heal.
