My son in law, aged 36 , was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just over a year ago. He is a nurse so should understand the risks but he is buying large quantities of cakes and other sugary items and binging on them, and then taking higher doses of insulin to counteract it. We have all tried to dissuade him but he continues. His Insulin levels are already poorly controlled and he has been very depressed since his diagnosis. What will this behaviour do to his longer term health? He also has frequent hypos because he forgets to take his insulin.
