    Nutrition has far reaching impact on our health, along with the prevention and management of numerous diseases. However, this is best illustrated in the management of Type-1 Diabetes where nutritional choices have meal-by-meal, day-by-day, and lifelong health implications. Various therapeutic and nutritional approaches have been developed to try to improve the lives of those living with Type-1 Diabetes. However, no one therapeutic strategy yet, has consistently demonstrated an ability to neutralize the primary outcome for acute and chronic complications in Type-1 Diabetes, glycemic control. Century-old and emergent data has reinvigorated discussions surrounding dietary choices that reduces the dietary input of carbohydrates for the management of Type-1 Diabetes. Andrew will be directly addressing and discussing the evidence surrounding Type-1 Diabetes, nutrition, current therapeutic options, and low-carbohydrate diets from both a patient and research perspective.
    Andrew Koutnik is a researcher, Type-1 Diabetic, and patient advocate at University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine and IHMC studying the influence of nutrition and metabolism on health, disease, and performance. He originally began his research path at Florida State University in the Exercise Science studying the influence of nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and environmental extremes on health-based outcomes in normal and clinical populations resulting in several original research publications. From Florida State University, Andrew was awarded the Presidential Fellowship to undergo Biomedical Research with the Metabolic Therapeutics Lab at University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine with a focus on studying metabolism and metabolic therapies for health, disease, and performance outcomes resulting in numerous research publications. While at USF, Andrew also developed and implemented multiple research projects on NASA NEEMO 22 as a part of USF and IHMC research team. In 2018, Andrew was selected to participate in TEDxUSF event where he presented on Nutrition and Type-1 Diabetes. Personally, Andrew Koutnik uses exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle factors to manage Type-1 Diabetes for over 12 years. Type-1 Diabetes has and continues to give an incredible in-depth personal journey into the world of our metabolism, how it works, how day-to-day life (sometimes moment-by-moment choices) influences it, and how these changes on metabolism can have far reaching effects over other aspects of our physiology. This combination of researching nutrition and exercise, but also dealing with its benefits and consequences daily as a Type-1 Diabetic, created a strong appreciation for the metabolic role nutrition and lifestyle can play into disease prevention and management.

    My wife and I are both T1D, both for over 30 years. We switched to low carb a year ago. It completely changed our management for the better. We are both healthier than ever. A1Cs are lowest they have ever been, we lost a combined 90lbs, and are both at our goal weights. Low Carb is the way to go for all T1D. It's actually easier than you think.

    I've been t1d for 40 years and this video makes me sick. It took my 18 year old son, who was recently diagnosed with t1d, to ask why eat carbs? Without provocation my son surmised that if he didn't eat carbs he would need less insulin. He then started researching and eventually came upon this video. I say the video makes me sick is because it's so f****** obvious. 40 years of not even glancing outside the box. I've suffered with erratic blood sugars, anxiety, and severe depression since I was 12. I won't go on but please forward this to anyone you know with diabetes . It is so obvious this is a better solution.

    I'm a type 1 diabetic for over 30 years. I just started on the low carb diet 3 weeks ago. I felt weak and my ketones went very high the first week or so. I added a very small amount of carbs and a little more insulin and the ketones decreased. I feel better now, energy levels have improved and my glucose is between 70 to 120 most of the time with very rare highs above 130 and very few hypo episodes. Now that my body has adjusted a little I reduced the carbs to almost none. I had a heart attack 1.5 years ago and I am very afraid of an early death. I am now hopeful that I may live longer than I expected before the low carb diet.

      @@alial-qasim2453 I trie to do so, but from time to time I have to give some short insulin nevertheless. Using only (reduced) base insulin works perfectly during fasting. I highly recommend to wear a permanent blood sugar meter (like freestyle libre or dexcom). Doing keto you will need much less insulin. Less insulin is perfect for health and it helps to stabilize the blood sugar fluctuation.

    I am a T1D and started keto & fasting 1,5 years ago. After 3 months I had a doc’s appointment and while looking at my scores, the comment was ”I do not see patients with these incredible results. I have no idea what you are doing, just continue!”. I used to go unconscious all the time due to sudden, extremely high insulin sensitivity. The amount of seisures I have had..... the panic every time I injected high insulin doses.... ”Will I die now?”.
    No more. I stopped taking quick insulin (humalog) for meals and now I do medium insulin (actrapid) instead. I have not had an ”seisure episode” in 1,5 years.

      I do 2-3 meals/day. 50-80 grams of natural carbs. Once a week I do a 36 hours fast. To inject the right basal insulin I learned how my body works through my CGM.
      I switched from using fiasp/humalog for meals to actrapid. Real carbs have too much fibre so the blood glucose levels rise too slowly for the ”quick modern insulins made for processed carbs”. The actrapid changed my life! I hardly ever get hypoglycenias anymore 😍

    Excellent talk, thanks to Andrew for spreading the word!
    One anecdotal reply to the last question.
    T1 since 30+ years, diagnosed with mild diabetic retinopathy in 2014 (2 consecutive tests), started keto/Bernstein/LCHF/whatever in Jan 2015, dropped HbA1c from about 8 to between 6 and 5.5 since then. Finally got the diagnosis "No signs of diabetic retinopathy yet" (from a new doctor that had not read my file), in my last eye test almost 1 year ago.
    I agree with everything Andrew says, but really want to highlight the quality of life aspect, you cant imagine how tiring and hard it is to have your blood sugar fluctuate between 3.5/50 to 15/270 multiple times per day, after having that for years, you don't know what normal is. It's such a relief to having 'highs' of 8/145!!!

    Great talk, however, I'm confused. You talked about beta cell transplants, but then you used the terms "major surgery and pancreas transplant". I was under the impression that beta cell transplant did not include transplantation of the pancreas, which would most definitely be a major surgery. Also, I've read about "encapsulated" beta cells. Do you have any current data regarding this? I've read that by encapsulating the beta cells, immunosuppressants may not be necessary. Thanks for this great info. I am going to try the VLCD.

      Thank goodness for parents like you! I am also T1D and wish I'd started low carb (and no grains) at diagnosis. There is a connection between wheat and T1D, per Dr. Alessio Fasano from Harvard. And Paleo Medicina has had success in reversing early cases of T1D with a no-grains, very low carb diet. Worth doing. Best wishes!

    • @sandraazucar493
      @sandraazucar493 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Sloth Draws - Andrew appears to be using MDI. If you go to 21:00 you will see his past monthly dosage (4 Lantus long acting and 5 Regular vials) and current dosage (2 pens of long acting and 1 vial of Regular insulin). But many low carbers use pumps successfully too. An advantage of the pump is the ease of taking smaller doses.

    This is a super talk, and all for lowering carbs to lower glucose and unpredictable insulin and weight control. Only in the talk at the end he says 85% of Type 1 diabetics are diagnosed at under 20 years of age. That’s not the case - if NHS data for all of England and Wales can be believed and extrapolated, then 36% of new onset cases are below 18 hears of age, and 36% are over the age of 30. The average median age of diagnosis of autoimmune diabetes is 25.5 years of age. So, I do not know where this notion of T1D being a primarily childhood disease comes from. If there is more wide spread data available, we would all love to see the age of diagnosis. Also, would love to see a wide test of Type 2 for autoantibodies, because it just might be that a significant portion of those patients who are insulin dependent may also have antibodies, but since no one is funding such a study, or at least is not publishing the data, then we will likely never know with any certainty. Still, the onus to provide proof to claim T1D is primarily a childhood/juvenile onset is on the people making that claim. Please provide.

    I have a question - can someone please help? I have been T1D for 20 years, now, at last, benefiting from low carb alternatives to damaging mainstream recommendations. I also do 18/6 daily and water fasting for up to 72 hours, once in a while. Question is, during fasting when my blood glucose is in a low range (3.5-4.5 mml) and I have medium level of ketones, is it essential to still retain SOME insulin in the system? I assume a low level of basal insulin is sufficient. Thank you.

    • @lucas9766
      @lucas9766 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, even if your blood sugar is at perfect range, your body can produce ketones due to scarcity of insulin . While fasting skip the short acting insulin but keep using the long acting in an appropriate rate.

      The key is very low carb. If the person can't eat a lot of fat, they can rely more on protein. Protein increase blood glucose more than fat, but is much lower than carbs. The person might have to eat more than 3 meals a day so that they don't consume too much protein in one sitting

      There is no money in it. Big pharma doesn't get any return from people being healthy, so why test ideas where the outcome means less sales? It is corrupt and disgusting, but studies are primarily funded by the pharmaceutical companies, and if they aren't marketing a new drug they have no incentive to study natural methods.

    You state that the average A1C has not improved in 30 years even with technology and is even getting worse. While this is true it is a misleading statement. Yes the average A1C has not improved but the instances of severe hypoglycemia certainly has improved over the last 10 years with technology. I believe that hypoglycemia in the last 30 years was making the A1Cs look better in T1D. What good is it to have a A1C of 6 if you spent several hours under 50 overnight. Not all A1Cs are equal. That’s why TIR is the standard. There was no way to get a TIR decades ago so it’s unfair to T1Ds to compare today to the 1980s.
