My husband was diagnosed with Type 1 last December.
Since then, apart from cutting down on his drinking, nothing in his diet has seemed to change...
For breakfast he'll more often than not have something sweet like pop tarts or sugary cereal. Then as his snacks he'll have one or two chocolate bars or mince pies as well as having cake or something after his evening meal.
He is insulin controlled, and says to me that it's fine he can just stab himself with more insulin if he's too high/has something sugary.
I'm worried that he's got this wrong as he's still relatively 'new' to being a diabetic. Am I being overly protective and worrying about him, or does he still need to be eating better irregardless of his insulin injections?
