- Dr. Jessica Turton is the Director of Ellipse Health and holds a PhD in nutrition awarded by the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. Her thesis investigated the use and efficacy of low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes management, with a specific focus on type 1 diabetes. Dr. Turton conducted a clinical trial in collaboration with the CSIRO using a fully online delivery model which enabled Australia-wide participation. The aim of the study was to assess the safety and effect(s) of a nutritionally adequate low-carbohydrate diet on type 1 diabetes management outcomes.
Jessica has also co-authored several research articles in leading scientific journals, including "An Evidence-based Approach to Developing Low-carbohydrate Diets in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review" in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Jessica was invited to speak at the American Diabetes Associated Conference in June 2020 to present the evidence for low-carbohydrate diets and nutritional ketosis in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
Jessica has a passion for working with individuals to identify the primary nutritional problems affecting their health and preventing them from reaching their goals. She was the recipient of the Charles Perkins Centre Summer Research Scholarship in 2016/17 where she was part of a team that conducted analyses to investigate the association of industry-funding and results in published studies examining the effect of whole-grain intake for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Sad how we strayed so far from the treatment that is best. I don’t listen to official dietary advice any longer. Never in my 40 years of being type 1 have I ever had such amazing control, since ditching carbs. Best thing ever. My background retinopathy cleared. Neuropathy in fingers improved. HbA1c of 42 and I’m striving to improve that even more.
Type 1s need to be brave and take control of our own health. Don’t let anyone push you towards carbs and ‘normal’ eating. It only results in ill health.
The dietary guidelines aren’t designed to be followed anyone who wants to be healthy. High carb diets are such bad news 😢
Thanks so much for your mention of DD (double diabetes) in T1D. I've found in my 31 year journey with type 1, that many endo MD's only want to treat symptoms not causes (poor high carb diet) of this chronic condition.
I look forward to your further work in this area of T1D...
Makes me curious about the differences between responders. Some patients experienced quite remarkable improvements. Would be interesting to see whether this might relate to differences in individual approach/activity/choices or not.
Also wonder how results might vary if this were re-done the same way but creating a participant collaboration component for mutual support (along the lines of David Unwin's collaborative care model).
Great stuff. Glad to see the Type I's getting the love they deserve from the community! ❤
No even keto but still beneficial. It would be great to see an expanded study: classify participants into strict ketosis (0-20g), mostly ketosis (21-50g) and low carb (50-75g) for 6 months or even a year.
In UK diabetics are advised to make sure 1/4 of each meal is made up of carbohydrates.
Very encouraging and hopeful for Type 1s
Thanks for sharing this information
Low carb for type 1 should include proper insulin coverage of PROTEIN too!
This was wonderful. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic and the dr insisted on 65 carbs for every single meal and snacks. When she got diagnosed we were doing keto already for us adults and it was hard to come up with 65 carbs for every meal. it just didn’t feel right so we started low-carb and she went from 11 A1C to 4.9 A1C. We didn’t need a study to know it worked, but I’m glad that you did the research and are dedicating yourself to this very important issue.
We watched dr. Bernstein on YT who is an 80 something year old doctor with type one diabetes, absolute survivor, since he didn’t even have a glucose monitor when he was first diagnosed as a child.
Dr. Berstein just turned 90 and he's still treating patients and doing fantastic! I use his protocol as my framework, 6g-12g-12g of carbs max. Keeps it simple and dosing is a breeze. Insulin R is fantastic for covering very low carb, high protein meals, BTW!
Same! My 13yr old son was recently diagnosed with T1D and the Drs keep telling us that he needs a least 70g of carbs per meal, however I completely disagree because since adopting a low carb diet of meat, cheese, veggies and some nuts and fruits we are down to 10 units of slow acting insulin and his BSL is consistently between 90-160. The Drs are amazed with our numbers every time we go in but still insist he eat more carbs in fear it will stunt his growth. He is 5’7” 150lbs and only 13, pretty sure he’s gonna be fine lol. So happy to see other families taking their health into their own hands, I’ve found way more useful information on Google and TH-cam. We are also going to be visiting a naturopath later this month, I’d like to get him on some herbs that naturally repair beta cells and increase natural insulin. I still firmly believe the body can heal itself and I intend to try to do just that:)
Have they studied the effects of chronic low blood sugar??? I've heard this increases insulin resistance causing type2??
Does anyone know how many carbs are counted on A1c? ie the .1 differnce in carbs 7.1 to 7.0?? thanks
Very nice and beneficial
Wonderful, now imagine a keto diet!
Better yet a clean carnivore way of life.
Or carnivore even 🥩
Or a carnivore diet 💪.
Fantastic speech
Thank you too.
This was a great talk - thank you.
Hello from East Tx===Go Carnivore for Life!!!===Marvin
would have been intersting if it was zero carb for a longer time period
Isn't more accurate to measure amount of insulin /per carb, when measuring insulin sensitivity, ie instead of just total insulin intake? Overall, what does it benefit to reduce insulin if it means cutting out the amount of healthy complex carbohydrate high fibre nutrient rich foods?
Eg, for someone with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), needing digestive enzyme supplements (PERT) for digestion of macronutrients, sure, you could cut out amylase in the supplement, therefore the amount of insulin needed would be significantly reduced (due to maldigestion /malabsorption of carbs). Is that really a healthy scenario? Are dietitians wrong to advise EPI clients to eat as much of fatty foods as you like, just increase the amount of pancreatic enzymes (lipase) capsules you take?
The objective is to replace the carbs but to replace them with foods that are significantly more nutrient dense. So, no, measuring insulin-per-carb would not offer meaningful information. What is more relevant is insulin per time-in-range. The less insulin required in order to remain in range, the better. This is true both because time in range means time free of glycation damage but also time free of insulin/PI3K/AKT signalling (which is pro-obesogenic, pro-inflammatory, pro-atherogenic pro-oxidative, anti-autophagy, pro-senescent, and so on). So, no, cutting out bread, pasta and fruit juice does not make you less healthy but more healthy if you are insulin dependent.
Good question.
What sense does insulin per carb makes if the whole point in low carb is to have LESS carbs?
Hb1ac was significantly improved, and it's single most useful improvement overall, such a strong cardiovascular diasease predictor it is
She still so purdy. And I could listen to that accent for hours….. 😌
