I am a type 1 diabetic and this is not true, and an incredible oversimplification. And categorizing "very low carb" as "good" and "very high carb" as "bad" is bizarre and untrue. You can go into DKA on a low carb diet.
And low carb vs high carb for T1D is NOT a "good vs bad" equation to start with.
- umvi 1mo agoIm also a T1D and in my own experience high carb diets are extremely difficult to control BG with. You are chronically elevated/high or roller coastering, while with low carb diet its much easier to stabilize BG and keep sugar levels normal. With low carb diet I have achieved an a1c of 5.6 which would be impossible/dangerous with high carb diet. Dr. Bernstein's "Law of small numbers" and all. But yes, you are correct, it was a simplification.
