[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 2137139, member: 301751"] Sounds to me that you are strict when it comes to your sons carb intake. I see you mention food rich in protein. Your son has to eat carbs, and live normally even if he has type 1. If you reduce the intake of carbs, to achive good blood sugar (which I guess you do for your son), then you have the problem right there. If you avoid carbs, and take insulin, you will make the cells starve in lack of glucose. Causing your body to break down fat cells, to help him «survive». The biggest mistake are people who think that type 1s have to follow strict diets, or being carefull with carbs. If you do that as a type 1, while taking insulin, your body will break down all of your fat cells. Causing huge weight loss. [/QUOTE]
