Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
I would recommend to continue the treatment with insulin, even though the C peptid is not very low, but positive GAD are strong predictors fr type 1 Diabetes.
Regarding to Amwey, you should talk to your dietitian, so she/he can plan a diet with lower protein content .
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Please see that Amway product are concentrated products .
You should avoid protein products which are too concentrated as the excess proteins get converted to sugar and protein may out load on kidney. Just maintain proper weight and take well nourished diet besides diabetes medicines. You need only multivitamin antioxidant cap once a day .usual over the counter products for vitamins are having therapeutic range and you need only that. If you have any further query then you can come back to HealthcareMagic.
I will definitely help you and guide you appropriately .
With Regards
