      How likely do you think islet cell therapies are to become a viable long-term treatment for T1D?
      not for those of moderate income.

      I am hopeful- it may not be in my lifetime, but they have already made great strides in the research. The autoimmune response and need for immunosuppressants is still a pretty big sticking point.

      I don't see how a cure will be possible without islet cells as they are what produce insulin. Using immunosuppressants or not is what will determine what the first "cure" will be like. If safe immunosuppresants are used, then it is actually a "functional cure". If they can infuse islet cells without needing immunosuppressants nor other meds, then I would call it a "cure".

      I think that a functional cure is the most viable scenario as far as a "cure" is concerned. It seems like the most progress is being made with islet cell therapies.

      If islet cell transplantation is proven safe and effective, how likely would you be to consider it a treatment option?
      Very likely provided immunosuppressants aren't required. Also younger people should receive the treatment first.

      I was going to comment that there's always a trade off. Am I trading insulin replacement with some other daily treatment? If so, what's the difference? Is the new daily grind more harmful than the old?

      How willing would you be to take immunosuppressants if you were considering an islet cell transplant?
      Scylla and Charybdis being perhaps more apt.

      After 70 years with T1d and some reduced kidney function and seeing my dad's poor recovery after a kidney transplant, I have no desire to be subjected to chemicals that would further accelerate the demise of my kidneys.

      Nope, T1D is a manageable thing with today's technology. I'll keep the devil I know.

      How easy is it for you to find research opportunities that feel relevant to you?
      Agreed, and there are plenty of issues aging with T1D.

      All depends on if anti rejection and immunosuppressive medications are needed. If so I would not be interested.

    Do you take a daily multivitamin?

    Home > LC Polls > Do you take a daily multivitamin?
    Previous

    When treating a low (i.e, less than 70 mg/dl) how often do you over treat, resulting in high blood glucose levels?

    Next

    Aside from the honeymoon phase (if you had one), has the amount of insulin you need increased the longer you have had T1D?

      • Vitamin C 1,000 mg a.m.
      • Vitamin C 1,000 mg p.m.
      • Vitamin B complex a.m.
      • CoQ10 100 mg a.m.

      Had taken Vitamin E for a few years in early 1990’s, but studies showed it wasn’t all that effective.

      I used to but haven’t for years. I get the nutrients I need to sustain the life force in my body by eating a wholesome and balanced intake of healthy and nutritious food choices from various plant and animal sources.

      I take 1000IU of Vitamin D3. Was having problems with exhaustion and dizziness. The vitamin D seems to have helped.

      D3, CoQ10, B complex, magnesium, juice plus, and an occasional cheeseburger.

      Yes and d3, calcium, B complex, biotin, Reversetrol, Q 10, EFAs, and a probiotic, as well as what my diabetologist calls the standard cocktail of Lisinipril, Simvastatin, for me Levothyroxin.

      Yes, I do. Why? Because my body deserves all the nutrients it can get and I know I am not eating enough fruits and veggies to do that.
      I also have switched to the gummy form of vitamins because the pill forms are huge and I have literally choked trying to swallow them. Who needs that?

      I also take acidophilis, collagen, calcium & zinc, magnesium, baby aspirin, C, eye care, fish oil, as well as a multiple for 50+ age women. Sometimes I take easy iron and next I might consider Ginko Biloba. Who knows if this is too much of a good thing, but it gives me peace of mind that I am trying to stay well.

      I don’t take a multivitamin, but I do use several supplements. I take salmon oil for antioxidants & Vit D3, a small dose of calcium, a combo of biotin, selenium, and zinc for my hair, and magnesium citrate for leg cramps. Also a probiotic blend for women.

      No. My endo said if I’m eating a balanced diet and getting exercise, a multivitamin is unnecessary. I trust him and I do not like to throw a pill at something that can be corrected with wise eating decisions.
