[QUOTE="Ashley13, post: 1561205, member: 311676"] If he was matching his insulin to the food he is eating, it would be seriously unlikely that he is as skinny as you say. It sounds like his BG is running high judging by the amount of food he is eating and his weight. Google diabulimia to see if anything else written sounds familiar. Even if he was matching insulin to the carbs he is eating, there is no way he can be having stable BG with a diet like that. The insulin diabetics inject is not like the insulin a healthy body produces. It can't deal with the swings and peaks that high carb drinks/foods create. This means it will bring his BG within range eventually, but only after hours of ups and possibly downs. It sounds like he needs to speak with a dietician to get a better understanding of how to look after himself. [/QUOTE]
