My wife, the nutritionist, says that the Zone diet is a healthier diet, a little high on the fat, but can be used by Type 1 diabetics...

"The low GI diet profoundly decreased triglycerides by an impressive 35 percent, increased the size of LDL particles, and reduced plasma insulin levels—all consistent with a reduction in the risk for CHD and diabetes." (From the article sourced below.)

When you log into some parts of Mahalo Answers (money, health, legal, etc.), it tells you that you should seek a professional's help. That's just good sense...
