excellent. If only we remembered this earlier. My sister died from Type 1 in 1980 - all the text book complications. Where a LC diet would have saved her a great deal of suffering - as simple as that.
Toowoomba are really fortunate to have this Doctor running their Endocrine services, hats off to her and strength to her arm in fighting this good fight.
She is great, I follow Dr. Richard K Bernstein I am a new member of the typeonegrit community and I can say without a doubt best thing I've done in my life. HbA1c went from 7.8 to 4.8 in 4 months. Average fasting BG 80 mg/dl my highest glucose this week was 117, lowest 69 mg/dl. As she said the biggest difficulty is my diabetic care teams, the price is bit more steep but you can supplements for cheaper protein options mainly sardines or ground meat. The dietician says I am on a path to hurt myself with high protein high fat diet, I say I am not sure about this biggest cardiac risk factor hands down is HbA1c. I explained my reasoning and how cholesterol is falsily link to cardiac events. I challenge my doctor to test my oxidized LDL or LpA if she was concerned with my high LDL she said whats the point we can do anything about. I said my triglyceride is low 54 and my HDL is high at 46 my lipid profile seems ok though my my total LDL was 108. The irony is that the dietician is obese and recommending me carbs 🤣. Essential for life she said. Well that advise is clearly not working for you either.
Thanks soo much for changing your view on the high carb recommendation for Diabetes. Hopefully your PhD will prove once and for all that the dietary guidelines need to change. We have had to go it alone to reverse my husband Type 2 Diabetes. Off insulin and BP down. No GP or Diabetic educator support in our area in Mandurah, WA. Thanks again. Debbie
I have been very surprised by the responses from my doctors. I expected to be Pooh poohed, but my endo was very excited when I told her, and was very happy with my numbers. She said she is looking forward to seeing me next year to see the changes as, she said, we doctors tell our patients to lower bg and lose weight, but don’t give advice that works. My endo is about 70 years old and a great lady! My gp is also curious but of course worries about cholesterol levels. A1c 5.2. Feel great. Freedom, almost, from Type One. Lost 50 pounds.
I've finally convinced my t1d sister that meat & fat won't kill her, so she has recently started the ketogenic diet and her glucose numbers have been the best since the first day of diagnosis. However, she lately notices high numbers as she continues to drop her basal insulin and we're a bit hesitated whether we pump up her basal back again or keep it low with introducing bolus to the process. She's on 12 units of Lantus now. Since we (me t2d & her t1d) trust patients more than doctors about nutrition, and from your experience with t1d, would you please tell us your thoughts on the basal & bolus thing. Thanks a lot = )
Great presentation, but, as a type1 myself, I disagree that some type 1s can't follow low carb. The problem is, they can't follow low carb if they want to binge eat carbs on occasion. The bingeing is the problem. I think the idea that these diabetics should just refrain from low carb is just ridiculous. Any time a diabetic eats carbs, the roller coaster begins. Period. Remove carbs and life is good. Blood glucose stays stable. Just because a diabetic chooses to eat carbs and then suffers the consequences doesn't mean they shouldn't try to get back on the low carb plan. The change to both quality of life as well as future health and longevity is worth it.
That was a fantastic presentation and so good to hear it coming from an Aussie. I totally agree that if you're only legacy is changing hospital food, it is mission accomplished! Though I'm sure there are and will be many more achievements!
Thanks a million Dr. Sheila Cook. I enjoyed every second of your valuable lecture and this will help me in my fight with NHS in the UK and is very valuable to answer a lot of questions from concerned patients on Diabetes groups in the Middle East. I will definitely be following you on social media. I would appreciate having your Facebook or website. God bless you, thanks again and best regards. Azzam
Way to go "Low Carb Down Under" one of the leaders in low carb.The healthy future for our grand children but sadly the current generation (our children) will still follow the SAD diet.
I'm curious of the risk regarding hypoglycemia assuming you are fat adapted and your brain no longer depend on glucose to operate. My understanding from previous videos from T1D was they were facing very few hypoglycemic events and these were asymptomatic (no loss of conscious)
With Ketones in your blood you could miss the symptoms of hypoclycemia, if your brain is fat adapted. This could be dangerous. So its probably wise to include a few carbs in your diet, and stay in a lower level of ketosis.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 Not true. it doesn't matter how long you are in ketosis, as long as your blood sugar is in the normal range the red blood cells are happy, because they are swimming in the right amount of glucose. The risk is, that if you miss the symptoms of hypoclycemia because these can be subtle in ketosis, you can get too low and stay there for too long. And then, in this state the red blood cells don't have fuel anymore. Because of that a CGM is really helpful for preventing hyopclycemia in ketosis.
something you said may be related to my problem. Even water fasting it takes a while to get my blood sugar to come down to below 120. I keep finding myself at ~200 as either I'm eating something incorrect for keto/LCHF or some otherwise unknown issue. I am having trouble with hunger & migraines as I cannot get another fast going nor can I eat more than one meal a day without my blood sugar rising too high (over 120) and frequently much higher. I've been going through the transcript but not seeing what I heard: do you remember this sort of issue and what might be the cause? Hopefully there is also something I can do as well.
Simon de Rijk snip refers to missing protein links in the double helix of the dna a bolus refers to an amount given to a patient gi refers to the gastrointestinal tract 👍
Simon de Rijk When you write "snip" I think you might mean "slip". In the context of "guidance for carbohydrate slips" at 37:03, it's when a person falls for the temptation to eat something very high in carbohydrate (probably refined sugar) which sends the blood glucose very high and hard to control. Bolus is a technical name for a volume of insulin that is injected (= a shot of insulin). GI is glycaemic index. This is an index of how much of an effect on blood glucose a normal person would experience, measured 2 hours after eating a particular food. 0 = no effect and 100 = effect same as glucose. So the higher the GI a food is, the more it's going to require insulin. Google it for more details.
God bless any health practitioner that can admit they are wrong or don't know... you are where the system changes

HDL of 46 mg/dl is ok if low, not high

I had no problems with my doctor or my endo either. I guess they are finally accepting low-carb diets as options for T1Ds

I find that even cheese can set me off on that roller coaster. I'm T1D.

@@RealMonoid Not really. The carbs are specifically for rescuing hypos, not preventing them.
I'd suggest that the risk once ketotic is too low for too long, because your red blood cells, lacking mitochondria, start to run out of fuel.

14:00 I don't think "Like what you eat" is the wrong msg. I think "eat what you like" can be though :/

you may actually be type 1 if you think you're type 2
What are a snip, a bolus and GI? I think it is important to understand what she explains in the last few minutes. I am bot a native English speaker...
You didn't give times, so I'm not sure of the context for "snip". Bolus is one large amount. GI is gastro-intestinal.
I don't know snip. A bolus is a large single dose. GI is either glycemic index or gastrointentional, depending on context.
Simon de Rijk snip refers to missing protein links in the double helix of the dna a bolus refers to an amount given to a patient gi refers to the gastrointestinal tract 👍
