[QUOTE="zand, post: 2174975, member: 85197"] I think a healthy diet is important for all of us whether T1 or T2 or any of the other variants. Nothing wrong with matching carbs to insulin...as long as you aren't overweight and/or have insulin resistance. This is most relevant to T2s but can also apply to T1s. I have seen a few T1s here over the years who have developed insulin resistance and 'double diabetes'. This has to be the worst of both worlds....to need insulin but to have a body that can't use it properly.....which means they need even more insulin. Whilst this thread isn't in the T2 section it is by a T2. The title asks why can't insulin be the main control. Surely it [B]is [/B]the main control for T1s...after the honeymoon period anyway? So the question isn't relevant for T1s. Of course T1s need insulin they don't have any/enough of their own.....regardless of diet. T2s usually have too much insulin in their system but their bodies can't use it. That's why adding even more insulin to a broken metabolism is a very bad idea. [/QUOTE]
