[QUOTE="Ambersilva, post: 614594, member: 43736"] [USER=47]@Russ[/USER] It is a fact that as a type 1 we can eat what we want. The only difficulty is gauging the correct insulin bolus. We have to try to mimic what happens when a non-diabetic eats hi carb stuff and has an insulin response that naturally and efficiently deals with the excess glucose. If we get it wrong and forget to inject insulin and don't test we could be staying with high blood glucose levels for days. DKA would inevitably follow. I know there are some type 2s [I](you know who you are)[/I] who believe that type 1s should not eat a carb fuelled diet. But by injecting and testing and having an active lifestyle, we do have the ultimate control. When we manage to keep our daily blood glucose and HbA1c within safe levels, surely we are doing something right. I am not advocating a carb fuelled inactive lifestyle. Everything in moderation.
