Dr Ludwig's post about his own study. https://www.drdavidludwig.com/blog/
After recounting all the benefits and positive results, he ends with
Quote:
What’s Next?
Our study has several important limitations. We don’t know the long-term safety and effectiveness of very-low-carbohydrate diets among the broader population with T1DM. Our participants were evidently highly motivated, and may not be representative of all people with T1DM. Other important questions await further study, such as whether less severely restricted diets (ie, allowing more whole fruits, beans and perhaps modest amounts of whole kernel grains) might provide qualitatively similar benefits; how best to dose insulin in conjunction with carbohydrate restriction and physical activity; and how to manage acute illness, when blood sugar and ketone levels rise. Therefore, the results of this study do not by themselves justify a change in diabetes management.
I STRONGLY CAUTION ANYONE WITH DIABETES TO DISCUSS ANY DIETARY CHANGES WITH HIS OR HER DIABETES CARE PROVIDER.
These limitations notwithstanding, our findings raise the possibility that much better diabetes control than currently thought possible might be achievable — with the hope of preventing feared long-term complications. After many decades focused almost entirely on new (and expensive) drugs and technology, it’s time to refocus on the medicinal power of diet.

Not justify a change in diabetes management? Or his group wanting more grant money to research adding beans? Check out RD Dikeman's son, his growth hasn’t suffered from a lack of beans and grains. I hope parents of T1 read the NYT article and do their own research easily available at TypeOneGrit and Dr Bernstein’s YouTube University. |
