I saw a youtube video over the weekend, that was done by two young doctors. Don’t remember their names. But they were both type 1.
They cured their diabetes, or at least managed it better than traditional advice, by going high carb, low fat, low protein. Less than 15% fat and less than 15% protein. And carbs were low on the glycemic scale.
Counter intuitive, but doubt they would lie about it. Their basic claim was that carbs weren’t easily converted into fat, and that if you severely limited fat intake, the cells would burn off their excess lipids even though you were eating carbs.
I’ll look up the video title if either of you want it.
Those kinds of carbs are not really considered "carbs" as far as a low carb diet is concerned.
I think the bad carbs are rice, pasta, bread, etc. The good tasting stuff.
The youtube video is named
“Insulin Resistance Diet — What To Eat & Why”
These guys are type 1 and both are doctors. Do your research, I have no experience with this approach and outside of this video have not heard of this approach with Type 1.
I do have a type 2 uncle who has effective cured his diabetes for 50 years. He was diagnosed at 40. He walks daily. And the mainstay of his diet, is he has a large plate of raw vegetables everyday for lunch with half a sandwich that has some meat on it.
He still checks his blood sugar daily.
