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. https://t.co/fia4W6zfVg

Low-carb diet in adults with type 1 diabetes. https://t.co/ILlXYOuD0C

Excited to share this, the final chapter of @TurtonJessica PhD.

An absolute pleasure to supervise with @BrinkworthGrant and @Helen_M_Parker @dr_kevinlee

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.

We are running a study at the University of Sydney investigating a novel dietary approach for type 1
diabetes management and are looking for volunteers! #type1diabetes #diet #nutritionresearch #type1 @kieron_rooney @Sydney_Uni @syd_health

@MaureenStroud @DiscoStew66 @kieron_rooney @Sydney_Uni @syd_health Thanks for your interest and support! It's novel in the sense that it is different to standard dietary recommendations for type 1 diabetes management. Low-carbohydrate diets were the original method for treating diabetes prior to the discovery of insulin.

#T1D #Lowcarb

[Jessica Turton @TurtonJessica]

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: https://t.co/Tt7MqC7a9I

Great summary slide @bcorkey !! Carbohydrate removal is beneficial in patients with T2D @AmDiabetesAssn @ADA_DiabetesPro #ADA2020

@DrSarahHallberg presenting at #Ada2020 - “you are NOT what you eat” - high SFA intake in the diet does not correlate with high SFA in the blood @AmDiabetesAssn

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. https://t.co/6FovKQZHTe
