I've had Type one for nearly 30 years....I am 50 later this month and was diagnosed with epilepsy Absence Seizures about 10 years ago. It was the epilepsy diagnosis that raised my interest in adopting a ketogenic diet. For my diabetes control this approach has worked wonders for me! I was brought up think that fat was my enemy....but a low carb, plant based fat approach has helped with my overall control and mental health! I feel healthier now than I did in my 20's and 30's!

Type 1 diabetic for the previous 38 years. I have been on an insulin pump for the last 24 years or so. During my time on the pump I began using between 80 & 100 units of insulin per day eating the diet recommended by the ADA. I was, at the time 6'1" and 238lb. My doctors always raved at my control based solely on achieving an A1C under 7. 4 or 5 years ago I went on a low card diet, my insulin use was cut in half and my A1C improved slightly to the low 6's. After very strict control of my diet my last A1C was 5.6. For the last 3 weeks I have transferred myself to a carnivore diet. My BG levels have now stabilized to a near flat line with insulin per day usage under 20 units. 15 of these units are via the basal rate. I wish I knew all of this information 38 years ago. Today I remain in Ketosis and I weigh 168lbs. May God bless us All-JohnG

Great video, thank you very much. I am a very strong advocate of a low-carb and high healthy fat lifestyle or the Ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD intermittent fasting. I started my healthy version of Ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD when I weighed 235 lbs on 6/2022. I had severe insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, stage 3 kidney disease, hypertension, pre-diabetes, sky high triglyceride levels, HDL in 20s, A1C of 5.7, fasting glucose of 105 and obesity. Now, after two years of Ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD, I have reversed all the above conditions, including my hypertension and stage 3 kidney disease. My triglycerides dropped down to 66, my HDL skyrocketed to 68, my A1C is 4.6, fastin glucose down to 74 and fasting insulin of 4.1 I am full of energy, no fatigue or tiredness. I walk 10 miles a day for 5 days a week, and once a week i walk 15 miles, 20 hours into my fasting. I lost or burned all of my own fat from my body. Now, I weigh 137 lbs and my body is always in ketosis. Ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD has saved my life. I strongly recommend Ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD, ditch The Standard American Diet and the food pyramid. Of course, when I recommend Ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD to my friends, family and You Tube family, I always advise them to consult a Ketogenic friendly physician or a certified nutritionist. Again, a great video..thank you

Fascinating to listen to Dr Lake and hear about the brilliant work he’s doing. Thanks Jack & Dr Philip for introducing us to him. Reasoned, calm, intelligent people like him are the ones who are going to push the science and evidence forward…and steadily alter ingrained policies & systems…not the ranters and the ravers.

My dentist is type 1. He goes berzerk when I tell him he needs to be producing ketones. He looks very insulin resistant and unhealthy. I am 67 and have been low carb ketogenic since 1998. I feel bad because I doubt he will make it to 67.

Maybe ask him politely to listen to what Dr Lake says here? Some people are simply set in their ways and need a lot of support and convincing to risk big changes. And big dietary changes are not easy for the majority of adult humans.
