No one likes to take insulin shots or pills so sure to some degree we all wish that diabetes was curable.
So that puts you in this category too.

Yes, but the difference is that most of us aren't in denial as to the reality of situation. All of us here wish for a cure - some of us for different reasons. I'm not bothered by the injections at all; it's the constant having to worry about my BG that I'd like to get past. For others, injections are the most catastrophically terrifying thing in the universe.
What we all have in common though is that we need to look after ourselves and treat our diabetes so that when a cure is finally developed, we can then receive that while our bodies are still in relatively good condition. There is going to be no point in curing a personal case of diabetes when that person is already blind, legless and suffering from every other complication under the sun.
I'm going to be quite blunt here about this test. You were playing with fire. People with T1 simply cannot go without insulin. For any length of time. Some people can last a week before they slip into a coma. For some people it's 24 hours. For most of us, it's somewhere in between.
By carrying out this 'test', you were voluntarily putting yourself in a potential fatal situation - and for what? Why on earth would you be even remotely interested in your residual insulin production? That fact that your BG is never in the normal range (under 100) means you do not produce enough insulin for your body's needs. No ifs, no buts. Your residual insulin production won't help you calculate how much insulin you need either.
Honestly, this test had absolutely no point whatsoever - from it you were trying to find out information that couldn't be measured, that couldn't help you in any meaningful way, and could have killed you. I'm sorry but you're in denial.
We all understand that. None of us want to have diabetes. But proving that your BG stays reasonably static when you starve yourself isn't going to change the fact that you have diabetes and you need to treat it.
Despite what people have said on here, you are neither a retard nor crazy. You're simply human and in a situation you don't want to be in. But you do need to face up to the reality of your situation for the sake of your health, otherwise when that day comes when we can all get off the jabs and the pills, you aren't going to benefit from it.
