[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2182684, member: 365308"] I'd add to the above that you may still have some beta cells (producing insulin) and as well as taking insulin could look at a low carb diet as a way to extend their life span. [MEDIA=youtube]CS0i20ab_vI[/MEDIA] Richard Bernstein is a type 1 himself and a diabetes specialist who advocates low carb for many reasons and this one of them. There are plenty of type 1s who eat carbohydrate and choose to cover that with insulin jabs but I thought I'd let you know there are some choices. You will need the background basal insulin because whatever you eat your body will still make glucose via your liver and the action of insulin's antagonist glucagon. [/QUOTE]
