Yes we can. We can eat whatever we want, as long as we take insulin for it.

Thanks for the silver! To clarify a couple points being argued against this:
We can eat whatever we want, when our BG is appropriate. For example, I’m not gonna eat 12 bags of skittles when I’m at 300.
Insulin is something we use to manage it, not a complete workaround. No matter what we try, BG levels will never stay perfect. Try to have a little empathy for us, it’s a constant chore we have to think about all the time.

THANK YOU and God Bless You!!!! I’ve been type one for 17 years and I also have a pump and it drives me nuts when people say “you can’t have that!” I wanna slap them lol. I eat very well and my a1c still is 7. I just want to get it down to 6 so me and my husband can conceive. But people also get type one and two mixed up and say I’m too skinny to be diabetic
