'and what is insulin mainly used for? Oh, carbs mainly'
Adamadam said
This sentence is completely untrue and implies that everyone eats a high carb diet aswell as complete ignorance that protein does raise blood sugar. I and my diabetic friend are both type 1's most of our insulin covers the protein portion of our meal. If I decided take out the protein out and eat just the veg I only need to inject about 1.5 units compared 9 units. So in my case I don't use insulin 'mainly' to cover my carbs.

basal aside, qa insulin IS used to cover mainly carbs, did not state ONLY carbs! , neither did.i imply everyone ate large quantities of carbs, actually didn't imply any sort of carb quantities.

'If they reduce their carb intake to a suitable amount for them therefore reduce their insulin , thats bad is it. '

Please re-read my post, I actual encouraged a low carb diet and small doses of insulin, this reflects really how much you misread not only my post but the original question.

I've not misread your posts, simply responded to you misreading/misquoting mine.

This is completely irrelevant question because the Poster hasn't asked for their sons diet plan to be scrutinised, the poster has made it quite clear that a diet needs to be suggested for his treatment- in others words which macro-nutrients (Carb, Protein, Fat) should make up for most of what he eats.

Not even going to respond to that!

Of course your entitled to your own opinion, no one said you couldn't.
Brett said
Yes I am

but to give statements without proof really adds more to the confusion.

Ive not given any statements without proof but seems you have a grievance towards me for having an opinion different to yours!
