My son was diagnosed with T-1 diabetes in October '07. He is a professional athlete and had taken a creatine supplement with an insulin booster. After 2 weeks of taking it, he got very sick, all the classic symptoms of diabetes. Blood tests revealed that he had T-1 diabetes. After 3 months of strict diet and exercise and 10-15 units of Levimir daily, he has been able to go 10 days now without insulin while averaging 93 BSL. While taking insulin, his BSL would drop into the 50's and 60's. Also at the time of diagnosis the blood test revealed hypothyroidism and he has been taking a generic version of Synthroid. Is it possible that the creatine and thyroid may have caused a misdiagnosis? Could a true T-1 diabetic go without insulin for 10 days?
