A #lowcarb diet can reverse #type2diabetes, but evidence is mounting that it also improves #type1diabetes. This new study that explored the role of #lowcarb diets on diabetes control in #type1diabetes concluded: "These preliminary findings suggest that a professionally supported LC diet may lead to improvements in markers of blood glucose control and quality of life with reduced exogenous insulin requirements and no evidence of increased hypoglycaemia or ketoacidosis risk in adults with T1D." That a low-carb diet isn't the standard of cure for T1DM is bizarre. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3743…

I am a doctor who discussed lifestyle changes with nutrition & exercise. I am backed up by accredited dieticians such @TurtonJessica & her team who make up my staff. This proposal is ludicrous from “the Australian of the year”. It will ensure we will be a rarity rather than the norm which should be the case in a metabolically unwell society.
Doctors should avoid discussing patient’s weight, Australian of the Year says smh.com.au/healthcare/doctor…

Adults with T1D are adhering to recommendations to consume 45-65%E from carbs, yet glycaemic control remains suboptimal. Current dietary advice for T1D is insufficient and alternative strategies, such as low-carb diets, require consideration. Full text: authors.elsevier.com/a/1c3B7…

Top scientists on this panel--agreeing saturated fats have no effect on cardiovascular/total mortality, and time to drop the limits on them. Problem is that 70 yrs. of sat-fat caps are enshrined/entombed in regulation--must be undone. nutritioncoalition.us/news/s…

Type 2 diabetes is frightening - it is the loss of normal glucose control in your body. Glucose is toxic - it acts like glue - it's sticky and it likes to damage proteins - you are made up of protein - it likes to… instagram.com/p/B7Me8pUBh_A/…

New systematic review of low-carb trials (#41). Distinguishes btween semi low-carb and v. LC (<26% of cals). Found low-carb safe effective "no diet negatively impacted cardiovascular risk factors, including HbA1c, blood lipids and waist circumference" bit.ly/2z2rAor
