Meaning you would have to have the same amount at the same time every day. Not fun... Disease Sun, 31 May 2009 23:45:19 +0000 Sorry, I wanted to add that the rest of the article is fairly accurate, which I DO appreciate. Except that weight is not a factor in getting type 1. Most people with type 1 are on the skinny side. Disease Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:13:03 +0000 There are many pieces that are accurate in your article. Thank you. However, a child, teenager or adult with type 1 with a normal diet will require more than 1 insulin injection per day. They must cover every carbohydrate with insulin just like a pancreas would. Sonia Sotomayer is a great role model for our children achieving great things! Disease Sat, 06 Jun 2009 05:59:50 +0000 good foodconsumer.org
