My nephew has type 1 diabetes. He uses insulin shots, diet and exercise to control his blood sugar. Since his diagnosis a year ago, he has been on a low carbohydrate diet, which excludes milk, fruit juices, fresh fruits, etc. He has not grown taller since last year. Is this a matter of concern? Have you have any information that a low carbohydrate diet or/and type 1 inhibits growth in pre-teen boys?
