Thank you for that information I didn’t know the difference, myself and I don’t know what type of diabetes runs in my husband’s family. I just know that they were all very thin.

You ae most welcome.

Type II runs in my mom’s family. I will probably have it as I age.

It sounds like your husband has type I, but I don’t know that type very well. I do know that their pancreas stops making insulin, though. One of the early signs that cause people to see a doctor when diabetes type I hits is sudden weight loss.

Management and care for a type I is different than type II. Type II’s are told to lose 10% of their weight and exercise. I do find a low carb is essential for me. But I would think with type I, and the intake of insulin, would be different.

Glad to be of help.
