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.

You do not have to get Type II as you age. In fact, you are doing the right thing by keeping the carbs down. Just make sure you increase your exercise and keep the body weight in control and learn as much about diet as you can.

Good luck, you are on the right track.
