I really like this format, and hope in future, when covid restrictions are lessened immensely, that this method of sharing information could be used to augment any "live conference" presentations.
I was diagnosed type 1 in 1970. No improvement until I started dropping my carbohydrates (horrifying my endocrinologist) about 11 years ago. Recently I went near-carnivore and 1 to 2 meals a day. Finally a really low A1C. Only my current doctor has wholeheartedly approved of a low-carbohydrate diet.
I want to appreciate Dr Akhimien on TH-cam for curing my diabetes permanently, although i have tried different herbal remedies i always failed am so great full Dr Akhimien...
Bravo!! This is medicine, the human body knows how to heal itself. We just have to stop poisoning it with processed carbs and sugars! Keep it up, stay strong 🤓
It just makes logical sense to reduce carbohydrates if the carbohydrates are what induce hyperglycaemia. It’s such a defeatist attitude from the ‘established wisdom’ of generic type 1 diabetes dietary advice. ‘Oh it’s ok if your BG goes up to 18 after a big plate of pasta, just inject more for it.’ How about we just eliminate that spike in the first place and swap that pasta for something else? Each time these spikes happen, even if it’s just for a few hours, that has an accumulative damaging effect on the body. I understand that saying to somebody ‘you should never eat bread again’ is extreme, but surely moving to an overall lower carb lifestyle is just a better option than dealing with rollercoaster blood sugar for a lifetime.
I've really enjoyed Keto/low carb diet I've been below 50g carbs. Unfortunately I do see occasional blood sugar spikes that I just cannot explain, the levels are significantly improved but do wonder why this happens. This is alongside a newly active lifestyle
I agree with everything dr cavan has said , been diabetic for 30 years since age of 12 , however I can't go a day without sweet stuff , biscuits with tea , toast with fry up , potatoes with sunday lunch , my mom is a diabetes specialist nurse and swears by low carb diet , it is just soooo hard
Try one thing at a time. First, no sweetened drinks, then less jelly or jelly less often, then only one starch with a meal and so on until you reach your goal. you will have to increase other foods like fats or protein as you cut out starch and sweets.
Thank you for an excellent presentation - I found it easy to watch and it was really interesting to hear what different people had to say about how Low Carb had helped their T1 management. I was diagnosed 19 years ago and have been low carb since early 2017 ( 5 years). I enjoy the food and have seen substantial improvment to my bg control. I used to have peaks after meals at 17-22 mmol/l but now get fed up if it rises above 10mmol/l. My HbA1c dropped from over 65 to around 55 and has been reasonably steady around that - I do not know how to narrow my range more and reduce the HBA1c to 48 - that sounds impossible to me - be clearly it is not. Any advice appreciatee. I use a pump and together with setting my basal I was advised to bolus 10-15 mins ahead and use dual blous - i.e. bolusing 70-80% of the bolus at the time and spreading the rest over 2 hours. I get frustrated that healthcare people say well done being low cab - but they do not look at my results and recommend it to others or ask more about it. They are listenign more though. The funny bit is that they think the diet must be boring! I do find I go high if I have high fat meals - there is a delay and then it is very hard to bring it down. I sometimes take a temp basal of 180% for 8 hours if I susepct it is high in fats. Any advice would be appreciated.
I struggled with keto too much, I just felt exhausted. We're supposed to enjoy the food we eat and with keto that's close to impossible. That's why I tried the *Agoge diet* and it works great.
Hi, thank you for your work, I'm so glad to have the doctors from LCDU coming to Europe ! I have a 40 y.o. friend whose pancreas is 85-90% inactive due to severe accute pancreatitis caused by a history of heavy alcoholism (no alc. anymore at all). His actual diet includes eating a lot of carbs and whole cereals, which causes of course high glycemic fluctuations. I struggle to find any information if LCHF can be introduced in this kind of conditions, how to do it without rising triglycerides which causes accute pancreatite crisis in him. Is it possible to become fat adapted if your pancreas is almost inactive ?? if you have any links to the research or advice I would be very glad !! Greetings
I was in remission from type 2 diabetes for over seven years having lost 15kg on a low carbon diet. In November 1920 I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A 3cms lession was removed from the foot of my pancreas in a Whipples Procedure. I am under pressure to eat more carbohydrates by dieticians to gain weight but being used to my low carbon regime I balance this very carefully. Treating my self as a type 3 diabetic and with the use of of a Freestyle Libre 2 constant glucose monitor I feel largely in control but, my chemo thereby cycle includes the use of Steroids for 4 of the 12 days cycle when Blood Glucose control is extremely difficult. That said after I am convinced that to fully return to low carbon after chemo will be the best policy despite the professional pressure to eat carbon. Pity to have to fight the system.
I am Type 1 diabetic. I've been very strictly low carb since I was diagnosed and taking insulin. Despite this I have gained an additional 10Kg in weight. Why?
What an impact this presentation can hopefully have - I really hope that more HCP'S will take just 30 minutes to watch it

Yes you can. You just need willpower.

Seems so counter logic to say take more insulin if you want a sugared coke. Horrible even for healthy non diabetic.
Healthy for your immunity also terrific!

Do you still need to inject insulin if we do the low carb diet?
