[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1852261, member: 429870"] I'm sorry that my post gave some wrong impressions. Sometimes one would need to write a whole book, or at least an article to say things properly. Obviously, as you say so poignantly, the majority of T1s before insulin died because if you are making no insulin at all you cannot survive. However, there were SOME who were making minimal insulin and did survive to old age thanks to their rigid low carb diets. Jenny Ruhl met a chap who was at the time over 90 and had done just this. My views about the value of low carb for T1s are heavily influenced by Dr Bernstein. I note your valid concern about eating disorders. In a Teleseminar Dr B mentioned the dilemma of parents of T1 children, who have to choose whether to restrict their diet to what may be healthy for their bodies, or let them eat more as "normal" children and risk diabetic complications and stunted growth. Not an easy choice. [/QUOTE]
