My son having type 1

[Bhoomav]

Hi My son was diagnosed type 1 when no insulin. Now he is 7years and giving insulin for 1.5years and dosage keep increasing but a1c is 11.2 and BS is unpredictable with carb counts etc. Insulin apart, why the doctors are not finding the root cause?. None in my family having diabetes in history and my husband is a sports person and in general my son is very active. He was very health and started losing weight after giving insulin. Please suggest. Following lchf diet and cooked home food.

HbA1c level of your son is very high. Improving HbA1c by 1% for people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes cut the risk of microvascular complications by 25%.

In type 1 diabetes, the body can no longer make insulin, so the glucose can't get into the body's cells. ... eat a healthy, balanced diet, paying special attention to the amount of carbohydrates in each meal and the diabetes meal plan. check blood sugar levels several times a day. get regular physical activity.

Hello to you & your son ! I have been T1 from the age of 3 a long time ago. The best way is to learn as much as you can & be active. The body does not like to sit still to long. T1 for more than 51yrs & never been unemployed says a lot. I walk to every hosp apt & will not pay to park my car. Please tell your son & give him encouragement from me to look after himself.

For some people it has to do with not enough good bacteria.
