Ask Our Team“ Yes...We have been reading about Insulin and Diabetes, different web sites. The one thing that keeps coming up are the side affects of diabetes and the amount of insulin used. We were wondering, with protein, fruits, veggies, minimal fat, and LOW AMOUNT OF CARBS, (to cut down on the insulin given for the day) what is the recommended amounts of carbs for an adolescent to have during the day, the amount of insulin given for the day? Are we doing the right thing? Also, is there a list of free foods they can eat? If so, where can we find it? Looking for a support group here in Southern N.J. can't find one, where can we look?”
