There is a lignans product out there that I hear is pretty awesome. I know a few people who have been taking it and they're not taking shots anymore actually. It has the omega 3s you need to make insulin as well... it's pretty interesting. I've been taking it and no longer need shots either.

I'm T2 - I don't think it's recommended for T1 because it boosts the immune system to hyper levels... I don't know. There's not a whole lot of info on it yet.
