You are very welcome. I strongly urge haveing Cameron's parents read the book. While he can eat whatever he wants on insulin therapy, as you said, maintaining good control is hard since even with a pump its easy to overshoot or undershoot, the consequences of both of which are quite serious. By eating a low carb diet, the amount of insulin can be dramatically reduced, therefore the fluctuations will be smaller and errors smaller, preserving his long term health. This diet would also be gluten free, just even more stringent.

He loves to talk...and tell people all about it. He is also Celiac (gluten intolerant) which has created a few issues, but it seems as of lately gluten free foods are becoming much more available making life alot easier for them. Thank you
