Hello everyone,
I have a question. My girlfriend has Type 1 diabetes. I have noticed that she does not eat properly, sometimes only once per day. She mentioned that she gets depressed cause she always has to inject before eating and also check her blood all the time, so eating is more of a task than fun.
My questions are:
1. Do you think this could be cause of depression?
2. Is this common among people with Type 1 Diabetes?
3. How many times a day should a diabetic person eat normally? 3 times a day?
4. Do you think she is not eating because she is undergoing some sort of depression due to having to inject multiple times a day?
5. Is there any way she can be made to eat properly?
6. What side-effects / harms can she suffer from if she keeps on eating one meal a day (that too not properly)?
Thank you.
