The low carbohydrate/low insulin regimen – personal experience in type 1 diabetes

In this article, I describe my before and after experience in adopting a low carbohydrate/low insulin/moderate protein/appropriate fat approach to the management of my type 1 diabetes. The Diabetes Centre in New York specialises in this approach and this article is based on what I learnt there and have applied since June 1998. I outline the rationale for and advantages of this approach and the contradictions inherent in the high carbohydrate/high insulin approach. These are my personal views and do not represent the position of organisations with which I work. Copyright © 2003 Ron Raab.
