Type 1 diabetes

Lifestyle[edit][edit]
There is limited evidence for the usefulness of routine use of low-carbohydrate dieting for people with type 1 diabetes. Although for certain individuals it may be feasible to follow a low-carbohydrate regime combined with carefully managed insulin dosing, this is hard to maintain and there are concerns about possible adverse health effects caused by the diet. One study found that eating disorders among young adults were more common in other young adults with type 1 diabetes . In general, people with type 1 diabetes are advised to follow an individualized eating plan rather than a pre-decided one.

There are camps for children to teach them how and when to use or monitor their insulin without parental help. As psychological stress may have a negative effect on diabetes, a number of measures have been recommended including: exercising, taking up a new hobby, or joining a charity, among others.
