Unless you are trying to put on weight or going for a long run there should be no need a big breakfast. Craving carbs suggests that your liver has not sufficiently replenished glycogen stores overnight. Needing a lot of fat suggests that your body has a problem mobilizing endogenous fat stores...

You will find lots of advice on the T1 athletes FB groups.

Hi Eshobabu. You can join the T1 athlete FB groups and internet forums and find out who I am, what results I and others get and what results low carbers in my age group, M60, get. I hope that will help with the choices you face.

Hi Goonegal. I would be more than happy to present that information in an appropriate forum, but both doctors and low carbers are never going to let that happen in their worlds, are they. Common sense says do what successful people do and there are no more long term successes than those capable...

Hi eshobabu. Blood sugar control is not the only consideration for some T1s. I suggest you look at how poorly those on <30g/d perform in sport compared to others, especially in the long term. Look at the carb intake of those T1s of retirement age who are right up there with the best their age in...

Yet another claim for a closed loop system that avoided testing it at a level of physical activity which cannot be fueled mainly by fat.

Hi Oldvatr. You seem quite taken with peer reviewed research. Consider that only people with certain views get appointed to research positions or are given funds. Then peer reviewers reject research that has passed institutional review. The result of this is that we have decades of research that...

And back to the OP, who considers the Lancet a reliable source of information?

The BBC has reported that “a traditional Mediterranean diet typically includes pasta and rice at every meal.” Who considers them a reliable news source?

Despite being a non athlete at school I recently ran my first 10km road race at the age of 60 in 42 mins 10s. From reports on Twitter it appears that both of the T1Ds walked some of the way. They did provide valuable evidence of the safety of their enterprise and I congratulate them all for...

The diabetes cause is not going to be advanced until people start taking issue with how misdirected, incomplete, incompetent or just plain fraudulent so much medical research is. But some people just want to shoot the messenger.

Hi Paul Diabetics in Aus had every opportunity to address the problem of doctors rejecting lchf and pushing statins at the relevant Senate Inquiries. Did you make submissions? If so you would be one of a very small number. Cheers. Nick

I am not aware of his athletic performances from the last 30+ years. You should come to Masters Athletics or Orienteering in my part of the world and see what so many 85 year olds do. Or look at the 85 year old rock climbers here, in Europe and the US. Perhaps you mean sedentary?

The peer reviewed literature on this topic is fairly clear, as is plenty of other data. Ignoring both of these and resorting to “reasoning” is what a lawyer paid to defend the indefensible would do.

To quote from the link in the OP, this is the “ultimate debate” in “the LDL cholesterol debate” Huh? The lack of utility of LDL alone as a parameter of cholesterol for IHD prediction was first reported in the 50s, as good as proved in the 70s, and accepted by most doctors I know not long after...
