A #lowcarb diet can reverse #type2diabetes, but evidence is mounting that it also improves #type1diabetes. This new study that explored the role of #lowcarb diets on diabetes control in #type1diabetes concluded: "These preliminary findings suggest that a professionally supported LC diet may lead to improvements in markers of blood glucose control and quality of life with reduced exogenous insulin requirements and no evidence of increased hypoglycaemia or ketoacidosis risk in adults with T1D." That a low-carb diet isn't the standard of cure for T1DM is bizarre. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3743…

I am a doctor who discussed lifestyle changes with nutrition & exercise. I am backed up by accredited dieticians such @TurtonJessica & her team who make up my staff. This proposal is ludicrous from “the Australian of the year”. It will ensure we will be a rarity rather than the norm which should be the case in a metabolically unwell society.

My new investigation: Has the peak body for dietitians misled its 5000+ members? Targeted its opponents & tried to censor opposing views? This latest revelation can only erode confidence in the Dietitian's Association of Australia michaelwest.com.au/investiga… @MichaelWestBiz @Jarrapin

Pilot study on keto diet and Alzheimer’s, promising results teapawt.net/benbikmanphd/status/10…
Just 3 months of #ketosis was sufficient to increase cognition in a group with mild #alzheimers (meaningful, considering the small sample size). Remarkably, as ketosis went away, so did the improvements...

Zero carb best for constipation. Why add more cars to a traffic jam trying to get out a narrow passage? Dr Paul Mason #lowcarbsyd
