[QUOTE="Erin85, post: 957437, member: 160454"] Hi [USER=180221]@carol43[/USER] ! I agree with [USER=203416]@Cl1ve[/USER], there is no need to keep quiet! And I'm certainly not upset by your post, would rather chat with you about a t1's relationship with insulin, than merely disagree with you. And I think this could be where the "everyone is different" might come in. There could be many reasons that your t1 friend wants to inject as little insulin as possible. For example, if the total number of units of insulin injected by someone (in a day) is greater than their weight in kg, this greatly increases their risks of developing t2! I've said it before, but I think it's difficult enough managing t1 or t2, but BOTH would be a total nightmare!! There are also those who would like to inject less as some say that insulin makes you put on weight. This has not been my experience, and my diabetes nurse has said that that is not quite true, coming back again to whether you are on such a high carb diet that you need more insulin than your weight in kg. Some don't like injecting (although I don't know anyone who enjoys it lol), some don't like taking any more of anything than they need to, be that paracetamol, insulin or anything else. There could be any number of reasons. There is nothing wrong with throwing a topic out there for discussion, it is a way of learning and teaching, especially about types of diabetes other than our own (I have only just learnt about Reactive Hypoglycaemia). Take care, Erin x [/QUOTE]
