    I hope you find some people and some support! I'm a parent of a type 1 so I can see how hard it would be. There is a great group of people over at tudiabetes.org ...I find alot of support there.

    Hopefully he doesn't mind but @midwesterner85 is the only T1 i know on this forum. Hopefully, he can help.

    You can also look at the low carb group.

    Thanks for the tag.

    Yes, eating low carb helps with hypos. It may sound counter-intuitive, but consider there are 3 primary causes for lows - one of them is nearly entirely eliminated if you eat very low carb. The 2nd cause / risk is reduced after about eating low carb for awhile (benefits start in about 2 weeks and take about 8 weeks to fully transition). The 3rd is a matter of having proper basal rates... this is the hardest to control, but is not related to diet either way.
