LCHF for type 1 diabetes?

Lots of people realize that LCHF works wonders for type 2 diabetes. But what about type 1 diabetes?
This is a completely different kind of disease, and yet many people find that the same LCHF diet works really well for type 1 diabetes too, dramatically lowering insulin requirements and allowing a much more stable and easily controlled blood sugar. And it actually makes perfect sense.
We interviewed two people with type 1 diabetes on the recent cruise who have revolutionized their health eating LCHF. These interviews will be posted as soon as they are edited. We’re also going to write much more on the topic later.

Over the last year I have been advocating LCHF for my patients in my General Practice but I was a bit nervous about T1D because of the need to lower insulin doses. Imagine my surprise when a T1D came in and said he had followed MY advice which he had got second hand from his wife and cut his carbs. He then went on to say he was on a third of his original insulin dose, had lost weight and he felt fantastic. He had been to diabetic clinic and they were really pleased with him and his HBA1C but they were alarmed when he said he had done it through LCHF. Since then I have advocated LCHF for T1Ds as long as they follow Dr Bernstein's advice.
Next we need to get this knowledge through to the stragglers.
