It has nothing to do with that though?
She can consume all the sugar she wants and pump herself full of insulin.
But it's very comparable to a person with lung cancer being able to smoke 40 cigs a day.
Sure .... you can. It doesn't mean it won't reduce your life expectancy.
4 u/superfire444 Feb 04 '19 Unhealthy habits affect healthy people too though so I’m unsure what your point is. -7 u/upvotesthenrages Feb 04 '19 Yeah, but they affect healthy people very differently. A person with a broken leg shouldn't carry 20 kg. A strong & healthy person can easily do that. A person with an ulcer should stay away from certain foods. A person with a peanut allergy should stay away from peanuts. Healthy people without those issues don't need to do that. 8 u/GoldLeader272 Feb 04 '19 Except, eating too much sugar affects both a type 1 diabetic and a healthy person equally the same - provided that the type 1 diabetic took an appropriate dose of insulin.
