Forgive me if this is the wrong section to ask but I had a question about Type 1 Diabetics (Insulin-dependent) and cheat meals; I've read that it is insulin that makes people fat; more specifically the combination of large amounts of high-GI carbs and fats at every meal- the insulin that is secreted shuttles the fat into storage...so would a type 1 diabetic be doing good to skip his injections during his cheat meal for the week? That is to let his blood sugar be high for a few hours and then resume normal injections when he resumes eating normally? I know that letting your blood sugar get high is bad for you...but could it, for a few hours a week, be that bad? Or am I just way off and totally forgetting something?
