Ok, simple, and to the point. Does Type 1 diabetes have any direct affect on loosing weight? Would taking less insulin help you loose weight (not keeping sugars high just eating less carbs and ALOT of protein)? Is there certian times to take slin that are better than others? It seems like Insulin controls EVERYTHING which scares me! But, at the same time, since us Type 1 diabetics control how much is in our body’s it seems like we would be at an advantage if I understood it better.
