How To Understand The Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Managing Type 1 Diabetes

People with type 1 diabetes may benefit from controlling and counting the amount of carbohydrates they eat because carbohydrates are the body's primary source of glucose. Insulin levels can be predicted by determining how many grams of carbohydrates were eaten at each meal. It is recommended that people with type 1 diabetes stay active, but they may need to monitor their blood sugar levels and adjust their carbohydrate intake to prevent a low blood sugar condition called hypoglycemia.
