I expect he works on:
Measure BG (and lots of other BM test)
Make small change to insulin usage and other meds if needed
Repeat
Along with getting the customer to control what they eat etc.
Therefore he may not have to change how he works just because someone arrives with a different label.
He originally trained as an engineer. His wife is a doctor, so he used her to obtain one of the first meters. His backround meant that he knew how to study his BG response to different foods and worked out a way to dose himself which basically tries to copy the way the body does it naturally - when it works. For T1 and T2 he recommends LC. It's not LCHF but rather he recommends reducing carbs and filling up on protein if you're hungry. The aim should be to do EVERYTHING possible, through diet and medication to achieve non-diabetic BG levels. For T2 he basically recommends reducing carbs and using metformin if you cannot reduce BG levels by diet alone.
For T1s, he suggests low carb and smaller doses of insulin; and, therefore, less chance of making a mistake. Insulin also causes people to gain weight, increases insulin resistance, which then requires more insulin. He also calculates an adjustment for the effects of protein. He has had normal blood sugars for over 40 years, because he is able to maintain more or less precise control.
Others will add or correct anything I missed out.
