Madness, The Cost of Carbs: An Interview with Bethany Reynolds McKenzie

Bethany Reynolds McKenzie is a D-mom on a mission. After years of struggling to help her son, River, achieve normal blood sugar levels, she finally found something that worked: a low carb diet. Bethany founded the nonprofit Let Me Be 83 to help advocate for an alternative diabetes management regimen, one that’s anchored in nutrition and the proper use of insulins, and allows people with diabetes to achieve healthy blood glucose levels. The foundation has produced a film called Madness: The Cost of Carbs, that explains the importance of food in treating diabetes, until there’s a cure.

"This topic can be divisive, and we know it,” the fundraising page for her upcoming documentary says. “Our intent is never to judge but to offer families another way that they can manage their disease or their child’s disease. It just may be the answer that they’ve been seeking.”

Bethany talked to RD Dikeman, whose son Dave has Type 1. Dave is a former JDRF Children’s Congress representative, and a thriving low carb athlete. RD is the founder of TypeOneGrit, a community of people using a low carb diet as a critical part of their diabetes treatment. She told him all about the documentary, and how she and her family manage a successful low carb lifestyle.
