Betty,

The situation is different for Type 1 diabetics.  But even for them, it
still makes sense to try to reduce/remove refined carbohydrates and
minimize the required amount of insulin.

Take care,

Don't carry this too far.  Without Insulin you will die.  My son is a
type 1 diabetic who produces no Insulin and therefore has to take shots
everyday.  It is the overproduction of Insulin that causes the problems.
