i forgot where i was reading

but it sounded pretty scientific

diet high in carbs? -> high insulin -> acne ?

oh hmm. just a thought: DM1 teens some take alot of insulin, shouldn't they have more acne?

I am sorry but I do not understand the point of high dose insulin in DM1-teens...
They take as much as they need, usually in several injections, slowly acting, etc...

ok i dont know what i meant...maybe i was thinking since they dont follow the diet they end-up having to pump more units...

how about DM2 where they have they have insulin resistance... - they use more insulin
