[QUOTE="miahara, post: 2242462, member: 256148"] As far as I understand neither T1s or T2s can process carbs, but for different reasons. T2s in general, though not always, are insulin resistant but their pancreas does produce insulin. T1s on the other hand do not produce insulin and are insulin deficient. Thus most T2s have to control their blood sugars by keeping tight control on their carb intake, while T1s have to regulate blood sugar by balancing their carb intake with insulin injections that replace that which isn't being produced by their pancreas. I am described as T2 but have progressed (?) from being insulin resistant to insulin deficient, but do produce a little bit of insulin, so I now don't have to worry too much about carb intake so long as I inject insulin to cover the carbs. Still have to carb count, but can enjoy sweet treats and thanks to my CGM I very seldom have to stab a finger to see how things are going [/QUOTE]
