I personally prefer to refer to “type 1 autoimmune diabetes” for the ignoramuses who start banging on about bad diets when it gets mentioned in my hearing. But dieting won’t “cure ” type 1 diabetes – or put it into “remission”. Far from persauding people to try a treatment, the sort of hectoring, judgemental treatment I have personally encountered – even from medical professionals – doesn’t help. I was told by an education professional that some kids go to school dosed up on sugary, processed food because they’re just not getting enough to eat – and a sugar rush is one way for struggling parents to ease the early morning hunger pangs.
