Can you eat how many carbohydrates you want while having type 1 diabetes as long as you take the right amount of insulin for it?
as long as you have the right amount of insulin for it you can. i have type 1 diabetes and am also on an insulin pump, which pumps a fast acting insulin in through a small tube every hour or when programed to. it is based on the amount of carbs you intake, not serves. so yes, as long as you have the insulin you can.

What is best insulin for a diabetic cat?
A long-acting insulin such as detemir (Levemir) or glargine (Lantus) is best. Google Dr. Jacquie Rand, Queensland University, and see http://tillydiabetes.net/en_6_protocol2.htm for more info. The new ProZinc PZI insulin is okay too, but avoid Caninsulin, Vetsulin, Lente or Humulin N insulins. The reason is simple -- diabetics need insulin at all times, at as constant a level as possible in the blood. Even a few hours without insulin leads to high blood sugar, which in turn leads to damage to the pancreatic beta cells which prevents healing and remission. Lack of insulin also risks ketoacidosis, which is very life-threatening. Cats go through insulin about twice as fast as dogs or humans though, so a 12-hour insulin for dogs will often last only 6 hours in a cat. The ones I recommend above are shown to usually last 12 hours in felines. (Meaning they should be injected every 12 hours.) PZI lasts a little less than 12 hours but can be used effectively if shot 'as needed' also, which is not recommended for glargine or detemir. The others (NPH, Lente, Vetsulin/Caninsulin) are not long-enough lasting for most cats, though they work fine in dogs. See http://petdiabetes.wikia.com/wiki/Insulins for lots more.
What are the names of long acting insulins?
Long-acting insulins include insulin glargine (Lantus, Toujeo), insulin detemir (Levemir), and insulin degludec (Tresiba). These insulins provide a steady release of insulin over an extended period, helping to manage blood glucose levels throughout the day and night. They are commonly used in the treatment of diabetes to maintain basal insulin levels.
