Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steve14" data-source="post: 1582058" data-attributes="member: 305713">The more I read about type 1 studies and people's experience, the more I believe that not everyone gets all the "bells and whistles" with the disease and there's likely a genetic component beyond T1D. There are unfortunate, young victims who died from a hypo in their sleep, and there are 60+ years old members who are basically immune to it. Not all of us react the same way to the same foods. Not all of us react the same way to the same exercise plan. Some benefit from a keto diet and some feel worse. Very complex.I can only comment on the ED & sexual part: personally when it comes to erections and energy, I feel best when I eat high carbs, medium/moderate protein meal with adequate levels of insulin. I feel best in the afternoon, and if I eat a heavy meal in the morning or exercise hard, then I'll feel sick for the rest of the day, while I could do all that in the afternoon and feel fantastic afterwards. Others may need the exact opposite. Again, highly individualized. You have to experiment, and he needs to go to the doc regularly without fussing to ensure he stays healthy. If he keeps his levels tight, and he exercises regularly, eats healthy, doesn't do drugs and you're willing to sometimes sacrifice love making when he feels too low or too high, then you shouldn't experience any issues. I've been down this road with my spouse, and it was a challenge.....</blockquote>
