Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scott-C" data-source="post: 1751005" data-attributes="member: 374531">I've listened to it. Dr Lake seems to have a lot of issues with his own T1 management which he needs to sort out before he starts giving advice to impressionable newly dx'd T1s. I note there's an article on this website about his approach:<a href="https://www.diabetes.co.uk/in-depth/ian-lake-normal-glucose-type-1/" target="_blank">https://www.diabetes.co.uk/in-depth/ian-lake-normal-glucose-type-1/</a>The telling point is that, "He has had type 1 diabetes for 22 years, spending most of that time with poor control."He then says that, oh, hallejulah, he got good control as soon as he started keto.He's kind of missing the point. Many of us have had good control for decades, and will continue to do so without the enormous restrictions of keto. Dr Lake needs to explain why his control was so poor for so long before he starts driving newly dx'd into extreme eating regimes.For newly dx'd, the methods he advocates, based on repairing, it would seem, his own, "poor control", poses a huge risk of developing needless eating disorders.He should learn how to use insulin properly, instead of spreading that sound-bite nonsense about the, "law of small numbers". Anyone who talks about having found a law in this area is a charlatan.I hate to think of the number of young newly dx'd T1s who have been psychologically damaged by the artificial restrictions thrust on them by these people.</blockquote>
