MommaB my son is 15 and has type 1 Diabetes he has had it now almost 5 years . When he was diagnosed the Nutitionist sent me home with a diabetic diet that was 75 carbs per meal with 3 -15 carb snacks . Which needless to say he gained weight I called the doctor to tell them they said it was the insulin that was making him gain weight.
Well over the years I have done plenty of research on Type 1 diabetes and have found that the more carbs you eat = the more insulin you need ,= the more money the drug companys make !!
So sad but true ,I had read up on low carb diets for type 2 diabetics and also found a article where a type 1 diabetic was using very little insulin by eating very low carbs . So I started cutting tylers down to 45 a meal and 2 -15 carb snacks and his insulin use went down too
.That is when I found FTS and realized that it would help me also and it has also helped with Tyler . He is down to anywhere from no carbs per meal to 45 per meal ,he still has to have 2 snacks (1 before supper and 1 before bedtime) .
He has lost 5 lbs and his sugar stays pretty good most of the time ,he splurges everyonce in a while but it is getting less and less he feels better when he eats right just as we do !!!!!!
