[QUOTE="hogweed, post: 33301, member: 9543"] Hello all – I have borderline Type 2, and find that I can make symptoms go away, lose weight etc by adopting a low-carbohydrate diet, a bit like Atkins but with more fruit and vegetables. However, my 14-year-old nephew has just been diagnosed with Type 1, and it seems that he spends his time avoiding hypos, by eating carbohydrate. While I understand that lack of insulin production can cause his blood sugar to rise too high (as with my insulin insensitivity), I don't understand why Type 1’s have such problems with LOW blood sugar. My understanding is that when I stop eating carbs, my body starts to get its energy from burning my fat reserves – is that an ability you lose when you get Type 1? Thanks a lot for your help Roger [/QUOTE]
