Hello. Love your videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge. Just curious if you have ever come across any type 1 diabetics who have seen an increase in their C-Peptide? I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 27 years and have recently increased my C-Peptide to 0.60 ng/mL. I strongly believe I can heal and it’s a long story, but I have posted some videos showing my progress and reasoning in case you’re interested. But just curious if you have ever come across anyone with T1D that has shown a significant increase in C-Peptide before?

Thank you for the feedback and for sharing your question! I have seen this a few times. It's common when someone is in the honeymoon state but that is typically a few years after diagnosis at most. In people who have a positive c-peptide and have had T1D for many years, I think about Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults. It is common to have a positive c-peptide that changes with this. This would be a great video topic. I'll add it to my list. I will check out your videos. Thanks for sharing.
