My daughter eats a large amounts of carbohydrates, including breads, sugars, etc. She said that her understanding from her doctor is that as long as her numbers are in the correct range, she can eat all the sugar she wants without having any adverse affects. She just has to take enough insulin to balance her blood sugar. In addition, she is about 40 pounds overweight. I am concerned about her long-term health with this eating regimen. What is your opinion?
