Your friend should do some more reading... He's the one being confused
T1 comes out of nowhere most of the time... I'm the only type 1 in my entire family as far as we know, and my only relative with diabetes as far as we know, is my grandmother who had type 2 diabetes before she passed away.
However, it is true that we should keep our carb intake low... but i must admit i don't do that


Have cut down on sugar though...
