Type 2 diabetes is a disease caused by carbohydrate intolerance, meaning the body cannot process carbohydrates normally.  Consuming these foods in excess leads to high blood sugar.  Over time, diabetic complications occur.  Before the invention of insulin in the 1920s, physicians advised diabetics to avoid eating carbohydrates because this intolerance resulted in high blood sugar.  In contrast, modern advice is to eat carbohydrates and treat the resulting high blood sugar with medications and insulin.  This “eat carb and take medicine” method increases the cost of diabetic care and does nothing to resolve the underlying disease and progression.  The logical solution is to follow a low-carb ketogenic diet because it treats type 2 diabetes at the root cause.  Avoiding carbs while enjoying foods rich in healthy fats and protein stabilizes blood sugar and reduces and in some cases, eliminates the need for diabetic medication.

Conquer Type 2 Diabetes

Before the invention of insulin, type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients were advised to avoid sugar and starch (carbohydrate) and to eat a very low carb, ketogenic diet to control blood sugar. In contrast, modern advice is to eat carbohydrates and treat the resulting high blood sugar with large doses of insulin.  This -eat carb and take more insulin- method increases the cost of diabetic care and does nothing to protect the patient from symptoms and complications.  Worse, it exposes T1D patients to the real danger of a fatally low blood-sugar episode (hypoglycemia). The logical solution is to reduce both carb intake and insulin dosage.  Avoiding carbs while enjoying foods rich in healthy fats and protein stabilizes blood sugar and reduces medication costs and the risk of long-term complications. The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes provides the tools and information you need to successfully take control of your diabetes.  In addition to clear explanations of the science, youll find personal success stories, lists of the foods to eat and to avoid, cooking tips, how to get started and personalize the diet, adapting basal and bolus insulin doses, and special considerations for children with T1D. 

The Ketogenic Diet for Type 1 Diabetes

The ketogenic diet is a natural, non-toxic metabolic therapy being studied and utilized for cancer prevention and treatment.  It works because cancer cells are dependent upon a constant supply of blood sugar (glucose) to stay alive.  Normal cells can make energy from both glucose and ketones (a kind of chemical by-product of burning fat), but most cancer cells can only use glucose.  Avoiding carbohydrates (starch and sugar) while enjoying delicious and healthy protein and fats will lower blood glucose and increase blood-ketone levels, resulting in a normal body state called nutritional ketosis.  Research has shown that nutritional ketosis starves cancer cells while nourishing normal cells and strengthening total body health.  This essential, fully referenced book provides step-by-step instructions for customizing the diet for yourself or a loved one.  It also explains the cutting-edge research on ketogenic therapies, written in an easy-to-understand manner that you can absorb in even just a few minutes of reading time.
