What I’m trying to say is that they can take advantage of the honeymoon and live insulin-free if they go low carb. That way they would have a much more comfortable honeymoon, that’s the only reason why I think they could try low carb for now.
But obviously moving forward as honeymoon ends insulin is a necessity regardless of whether you eat 30g of carbs a day or 300
I think you missed a critical word in your response. That word being potentially (as in potentially insulin-free period).
Whilst I have no skin in the game in this, my concern for stopping insulin for a T1 would be having to restart it again, when the child is already verbalising she hates her injections. Disrupting that routine, only to be forced back to it (which is pretty much, if not absolutely inevitable) could suggest to the child that she has failed (in her desire to stop injecting forever).
I think it's a really, really tricky situation.
