I'm so fortunate to have come across Dr. Kushner through his podcast with Dr. Peter Attia. Thank you for what you do in the T1D space, thank you so much.

[lenorepaletta]

This was by far the best presentation.

Very rare that a non-diabetic doctor actually understands the trials & tribulations of type 1 diabetic's life... and much more understands how to treat/control it effectively.

I can confirm that LCHP works great without the massive rollercoasters! My HbA1c went down from 6.8 % to 5.1 % after 3 months of low carb and even to 4.9 % after 6 months and there is still room for optimization. Also I have a lot more power and don't have to constantly be looking at the CGM if the sugar goes up or down.

Thanks for the video. I have type one and have been following keto diet for 18 months now. I no longer need rapid insulin and take 8 units of Lantis per day. Freedom from highs and lows. I just don’t have them. A1C of 5.3. Thanks for the information on ketoacidosis while low carb. I will get more ketostix. 😁

Thanks for sharing this video, it’s really rare for clinicians to truly understand the psychological aspects of DM1 so it’s great that you’ve spoken about this.

[AnimaLibera]

Great presentation! Thank you for uploading and thank you, Dr. Kushner, for the work you do! This is important information, not only for T1Ds.

The more i watch these beautiful intelligent lecture, the more I'm convinced that the existence medical field is build wrong, by putting certain
guide lines without taking on consideration all the variables ..
There's no one shoes fits all, the medical field has to treat each case
differently.
In other word Type 1 is not a type 1
It's type1, type 1.1, type 1.2, type 1.3..etc
Each case has it's own Variables and has to be treated differently..

[gallettiguitartones]

I'm also a type one diabetes I have been following this for the past 17months and it's been the best thing I have done. My a1c was 5.1% last time!

[moezgrami]

Thank you for this lecture! I'm T1D and in my country I can't find help for doing LCHF.
Please, where can I find help for starting LCHF? Is there a website which could help a type 1 diabetes to follow LCHF diet?
Thanks for your helps

[mr_holden]

Thank you for sharing this. Encouraging to hear from one T1

Dr. Bernstein, lately is not recommending the Insulin pump either.

[rbalschun]

Thank you for this video! I was diagnosed with LADA over one year ago. Before diagnosis I was following a keto diet, since diagnosis I have been mostly carnivore with occasional avacado and handful of nuts. I am still hyperglycemic; blood sugars are in 200s. Taking Toujeo (18 units daily) and 3 units Lantis short acting daily with meal.

[alisoncoughlin]

Does anyone have a way I can contact Jake Kushner, MD?

[sgarchetier]

Thanks for this! It is just mind boggling why the mainstream medical world has continued to peddle this insulin nonsense. The only reason is greed...very sad...

[brookgraves]

But, a long term Keto Plant Based diet, can easily lead a Type 1 to become nutritionally deficient and may induce gastroparesis, plus dangerous IBD/IBS that depletes all the nutritrition. Talking from experience here.

[ketohack]

When ketone is high and glucose is low, since ketone is providing the crucial energy to brain and organs, will the "low glucose" situation be less risky?

[leonfuerst]

Great video, how can someone give a negative like and not leave a message.

[petercyr]

I am guessing the liver starts making way too much glucose as the T1D patient becomes insulin resitant just like with T2D. Remove the glycemic load from the diet and you just have to deal with the load from the liver!
