“There are 2 ways to regulate blood sugar. Through insulin, or through diet. And by diet I don’t mean “eat your broccoli”, I mean by carefully regulating the sugars and carbs your son ate, and timing it so that the amount of sugar going into his bloodstream stayed as level as possible.”
This is true only for Type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetics (also called juvenile diabetes) can not produce ANY insulin. No amount of diet manipulation will fix this. Any sugar in the bloodstream cannot be used, the body starts burning it’s own protein producing ketones. Then they die of ketosis, also dehydration because it makes you pee out all the sugars the body can’t burn.
I might have to research that problem and get back to you.
