Hi everyone,
I've been a T1D for 30 years now but only discovered the joys of a keto diet 3 years ago.
I know everyone is different, but for me it's like the difference between night and day - I started seeing the positive benefits within 12 hours of going keto.
My personal experience has been that I have much fewer hypos, and when I do go low it's all very gentle and easily remedied - a big change to where I was 20 years ago!
These days I am also very fortunate to hold a recreational/sport pilots licence (which is a very limited form of licence designed for people with 'medical issues'). I find the restrictions, well, too restrictive and I'm trying to get my licence upgraded to a full Private Pilots Licence.
However, dealing with the medical standards people is proving somewhat challenging.
So my question to the collective knowledge-base is this:
Does anyone know of any medical studies which investigate the reduced severity of hypoglycemic events among T1's for those following a keto/LHCF diet?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
RBG
