[QUOTE="jopar, post: 207388, member: 11712"] Jay Sorry I disagree with your theory that T1 diabetics are intollerant to carbohydrates if you theory was correct then we would be intollerant to protein and even the glucose that comes from our own liver... As it's only our lack of ability of our pancreas to produce insulin that stop the body from dealing with carbohydrates and protien, it also prevents the body from using the glucose of our liver... Hence why it isn't intollerance without insulin we die even we ate nothing! So it's totally wrong and very misleading to suggest it's an intollerance thing... For the T1 diabetic the whole problem we face is all based around the abilites of an manufacured insulin.. We have to mentally calculate all the many different factors to provide a dose of insulin for the body to use effectively... Now get any one of these many factors wrong then the diabetic faces increased blood glucose levels due to insufficent insulin, or an hypo due to too much insulin being in the body and the body unable to turn it off.. But when it comes to children I think that parents should be working with their diabetic teams concerning many parts of their childs treatment. not taking advice from the internet where they can't validate the information being provided.. The internet information should provide support and for understanding the disease a lot better, information they gain should be discussed with their diabetic teams, who can then expand give futher advise etc..
