A member asked:
Is protein intake any different if you have type 1 diabetes?i s it fine if i eat 170g protein (i'm 17 y/o and my weight is 168lbs and height is 6.1)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are doing fine: and your protein intake is suitable, in diabetes in general, it is rather the carbohydrates and fats that you need to watch diligently. A dietician, if you have access to one, can help you a lot and coach you right through your diet for better control of your weight, hence your diabetes, which I believe your are taking good care of, best wishes
