Prepare to be amazed and intrigued in turn if you have Type 1 diabetes or know someone who does.
Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease we’re learning can be managed into remission by going low-carb - hat tip to Virta Health, UK Dr David Unwin and other primary care doctors across the world. Type 1 is for life. It always involves dosing insulin.
But Dr Ian Lake, who has Type 1, says switching to a very low-carb regime has helped him better manage his diabetes.
He stresses that it’s not for everyone, but wants it added to the standard care options offered by all physicians.
Consider, he says, that 95% of Type 1s fail to reach targets for good blood sugar control. But on low-carb, 97% do.
You may have heard of the remarkable #ZeroFive100 challenge he organised in September, 2020. He, another Type 1 diabetic, and six others without diabetes, safely finished a fasted, five-day run-walk from Henley-on-Thames to Bristol - 100 miles on zero calories. There were no injuries and no problems with blood sugar control.
Dr Lake has summed up his initial findings in a medical paper but, a year on, has his proof-of-concept research convinced others to rethink their Type 1 treatment protocols? We find out.
