Hey there

Well my oh is diabetic type 1he is on insulin and i want him to lose some weight. Not for me but for himself as i really worry about him and dont want him to have a early death. So is anyone type 1 and could you recommend and meal ideas for being diabetic?

My other half's diabetic, type one. He recently lost 1.5 stone.

The best thing for him to do is restrict his carbs, as they convert to sugars. Insulin stops you burning fat, so the less insulin he has to use the better.

My other half when losing weight would have a ham and cheese omelette or something similar for breakfast (no carbs). Plenty of prawn cocktails, barely any carbs... Then lots of chicken and veg. Again, no carbs. X

My DH is a type I diabetic as well. Does your OH work out? My DH finds his blood sugars are much better when he's working out regularly and that helps with weight control.
