diabetes and sugar intake

[Selina]

Anyone know why, (i'm type 1 by the way) i can eat as many sweet things as i like and my BS always return to 'normal' on thier own?

They aren't returning on their own, they're being dealt with by your insulin injections :roll:

You also need to consider the spike caused by that sugar before they return to normal that you may well be missing, any large spike is potentially damaging

 

[Selina]

but even when i don't inject my BS go down on their own

Hi Selina...quick question, when were you diagnosed? the only thing I can think of would be the "honeymoon effect".

What kind of insulin are you on? If basal/bolus...then it could be your basal injections having an impact...although it doesn't usually have that big an effect!

I think Selina wants us to suggest that she isn't actually diabetic, try skipping an injection and see if you can still process sugar :roll:
