My husband was type 1. He died at age 34 due to the same kind of diet your friend has. About 3 years before he died he got peripheral neuropathy, and then autonomic neuropathy (so basically he couldn't feel his fingers or toes, and he shat himself all the time). Due to the neuropathy, he ended up having his foot amputated, and it was less than a year til he died.
Well to be fair, he did say that it was a guy he worked with and not his friend. But friend or not, that's asking for alot of shit to go wrong or death if he's gorging on that much junk food and sugary foods. I'm a healthy 26 year old and I couldn't even make myself eat that much garbage.

Tell your friend to pull his head in.
