New study: Exceptional blood-sugar control for people with type 1 diabetes on low carb

A new study shows that patients with type 1 diabetes who go on a low-carb high-protein diet on average achieve truly great results:
It found that children and adults with Type 1 diabetes who followed a very low-carb, high-protein diet for an average of just over two years — combined with the diabetes drug insulin at smaller doses than typically required on a normal diet — had “exceptional” blood sugar control. They had low rates of major complications, and children who followed it for years did not show any signs of impaired growth.

The patients were all members of the Facebook group Type1Grit…. highly recommended.
