This is to help Type 1 Diabetics- it has nothing to do with lifestyle nor diet. It is where the pancreas stops producing insulin. It normally starts in children, hence it is also known as juvenile diabetes. Unfortunately, it cannot be controlled by limiting food consumption, but requires significant work around monitoring food intake, blood glucose levels and various insulin injections (or a pump). My wife has been diagnosed for 30 years now - it is an all consuming disease- never a day off once diagnosed. Think of a time where you have been so ill, you can barely move. Well, she’s felt that AND had to ensure her blood sugar levels are maintained. If she doesn’t, then she will feel even worse, and potentially die from a coma (too low sugars) or have a significantly reduced lifespan along with many complications around eyes, heart, circulation amongst other things. Oh, and as she is going through perimenopause, all the work and knowledge she has gained goes out of the window as her sugar levels increase or decrease without any reason due to hormones. Any improvements to Type 1 Diabetes management can really improve quality of life, as well as decrease the cost of care (and means she can contribute more to society too).
