This past year on carnivore/ketovore my life as a type 1 has been the best year since I was diagnosed 15 years ago. I’m down 35lbs and feel like a million bucks. My endo has been giving me a hard time because of my elevated ldl and wants me to eat more carbs and a low fat diet.
It is a sad fact that many of us with type 1 not only had to learn dietary control on our own, we had and have to fight conventional medicine, my ophthalmologist told me a ketogenic diet would kill me. Now carnivore and ten years later I'm still alive use 80% less insulin and 80lbs lighter...same weight as when I graduated high school 50 years ago...165lbs.
Yes diet is a very useful lever in the management of type 1 diabetes! Protecting and promoting a higher level of health for my loved ones is my goal. I have a husband who has well controlled type 1 for 30 years. He has a cgm that lets him see how food choices affect his blood glucose and an insulin pump. He tends to eat paleo cereal in the morning or egg frittata/meats not the carb heavy standard American diet. I also have a son who has type 1, hashimoto thyroid, adrenal insufficiency and celiac. My hypothesis is gluten is the trigger in the gun that punches a hole in the intestine and subsequently causes the body to attack self thereby destroying organs (auto immune diseases).This 😅mama hates gluten but the blessing is it steers you away from a lot of carb temptations that skyrocket your blood sugar. Best of luck with your type 1 diabetes journey Andrew!
I’ve read the book…. But what I need to know is how do I lower my CAC score- my score was 1200- FH, blood pressure Normal, glucose normal- high LDL & they want to up crestor to 10mg & I’m freaking out!! Dr. Was NOT through at alll- basically said I won’t live to see 80 if I don’t up the crestor- so needless to say I didn’t dare say a word about eating carnivore. HELP!! I’m getting ready to turn 52 & I literally feel so hopeless
Thank you for reaching out! Hope all is well. If you are interested in seeing how Dr. Ovadia and his team can help, please go ahead and book a call with our metabolic health consultant to discuss further. ifixhearts.com/jake/
Check out the TH-cam video that Kelly Horgan did with Dr. Ovadia where her carnivore friend had a heart attack and they talk about what and why and what to do. I think it’s called the worst video I’ve ever had to do…. Something to that effect. Lots of info in that video. Good luck and God bless!
Fantastic interview with Dr. Andrew!

BTW... As a type 1 my HBA1c is 5.2 and is usually in the low 5s for the last several years...keto does work.
