To simchaallthetime,
While scientifically you are correct -you prove the point a little knowledge is dangerous. Type 1 diabetics are usually prescribed a set amount of insulin. The Mayo clinic says -“People with diabetes on rapid insulin meal coverage need to develop their skills at portion control so they can match their rapid insulin to the total grams of carbohydrate they are eating for better glucose control”. In other words type 1’s also need to be on a diet. If diabetics would follow your advice, not only would they have poor glucose control, a lot would go into DKA. So no, Type 1’s can’t have “AS MUCH SUGAR AS THEY WANT”. Even with the pump they wouldn’t have that tight control that they need.
