Answer: The majority of calories should be in the form of carbohydrates and monounsaturated fats.

In general food intake must be dominated by carbohydrates and fat. Type 1 diabetes patient will have to use insulin, therefore having a higher risk of hypoglycemia and need to eat enough carbohydrate to prevent it.
