[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2320310, member: 21149"] Hi. I have to disagree that a T1 can eat whatever he/she likes. If you have a high metabolism and are active you may be able to do that and not gain weight. Insulin enables the body to metabolise carbs and like a non-diabetic if you have too many carbs you will probably gain weight. I have to be fairly careful with my carb intake even though I go to the gym. I also disagree that carbs are important; put simply they aren't. You don't actually need any if you have enough fats and proteins as the body can make glucose from those, but having some carbs for most people makes sense. They are not needed for 'energy' in the way the adverts say unless you are an athlete. We eat carbs because they taste nice and are addictive but need to be kept under some control [/QUOTE]
