Diabetes Type 1 and Rosedale
I started the Rosedale Program. I feel it is the Rosetta Stone for health and it is proving itself to be just that to me. My closest friend has had Type 1 Diabetes for 60 years. I would like to approach her about the program. But I have no info/data on how/if it might work for a Type 1 Diabetic. Obviously no one is looking for a "cure" here. I would just like to be able to let her know that, yes, other Type 1's have used the program and with good overall results for the body. I was wondering if you had any such encouragement/support I can give her so that she might feel easy in beginning to learn about it.
ps - she is not producing insulin. But will Rosedale still be a good direction for her in the overall sense of health?
Thank you all, so much, for the work you are doing.
Ellen

Hi Ellen,
I started on Dr. Ron's plan June 2012 and as a Type 2 diabetic I am more than happy to report that I have been able to completely get off all diabetic meds & injections that doctors had me on.
I posed the question you have right after I seen that it was helping me with my diabetes. I am concerned about my 18yr old granddaughter who has been on insulin since she was 5yrs old. I have been encouraging her to at least give Dr. Ron's plan a try - over the past year she has ended up in the hospital a few times because of her sugars being over 700. It is really taking a toll on her.
Anyway, I have pondered on my own question and have come to realize that, Dr. Ron's plan can help type 1 diabetics - it can help reduce the dosage of insulin, which in my studies is a great thing. My granddaughter has learned how to adjust her insulin, which is needed. I assume that your friend in those 60yrs probably has learned also.
In my own experience, I learned real quick , in my case at least, that a diabetic's blood sugar can begin to drop in a very short period of time.
Have her to get with her doctor, asking him/her to help monitor her sugars as she gives Dr. Ron's plan a try.
It's not that Dr. Ron's plan is dangerous, it is because changes can & do happen rather quickly.
Wishing you and your friend the best..
Hope that you both will go forward to a healhier life ..

Great answer Ken, thank you..
Dear Ellen,
It is perfect that you recommended the Rosedale Program for a type I diabetic, it will be a far healthier road than just assuming they have to follow the standard of care procedure which would only give her the standard of care results. Rosedale has always far exceeded those results, results that the 'standard of care' advertise as not being possible.
A great website for you to visit and learn so much from is a lady who was diagnosed with type I but refused to settle with that, she is a good friend of ours and former patient of Dr Rosedale's, Shelly Schlender www.meandmydiabeties.com. As Shelly and Dr. Ron caught her disease right at the start she was able to make great progress in avoiding medications etc, which is very unusual for a type I.
You mentioned she is not producing insulin, by way of a miracle, if her islet cells are producing any insulin on their own at all, if she has not already done a c-peptide test this would be the first step. We cannot tell you how many times Dr. Ron's patients have told him 'I am not producing any insulin' to find out they actually were. If she is producing even a little insulin then you can go for gold and aim for turning this ship around and getting her diagnosed as a type II and then onwards from there. Many people are wrongly diagnosed. If it is confirmed that she is a type I then the diet will do wonderful to keep her external need for insulin lower.
Diabetes is a serious disease with terrible consequences to long term health, we are so pleased that you are helping your friend, they need to take this diet as though it is medicine and allow it to be their map to long term health and freedom as it is very very powerful. There will be certain supplements that will work incredibly well for them as well. Also, it would be a lot easier if everyone in the family follows the diet, then it becomes the 'norm' for the household and will be so much easier on many levels to follow.
Also, like Ken mentioned the changes do happen quickly and so insulin would need to be reduced accordingly. Most of our type I patients are on a fraction of the insulin they were taking, feeling great, and would never turn back to the 'traditional' recommend treatments.
We hope this helps.
Best of health.
The Rosedale Team.
