How is the diet for type 1 diabetes different from the diet for someone without diabetes?
It depends, because if you are on 2 injections a day then it means you would have to cut down on carbohydrate and sugar and do extra injections with a "rapid" which is a fast acting substance, if you are on 4 injections a day, then you basically have the same diet but you have to "carbohydrate count" where you work out how many carbs you eat at each meal, and depending on what the ration your G.P has given you, you then work out how many units of insulin to inject. e.g my ratio at lunch is 1:10 and lets say i have a sandwich of 40 carbs, i will have 4 units of rapid insulin (other diabetics may have a different insulin).
