      No, they may not. This is an incredibly dangerous suggestion. Let's put it this way. Before the discovery of insulin, diet was how type I diabetics were managed. It didn't work very well. Most died within a couple of years after diagnosis. https://twitter.com/HealthRanger/status/1087998420332232704 …

      I wrote a blog on that study actually, it was promising and interesting but has yet to be demonstrated in a controlled trial and may be down to biases in the study design https://medium.com/@gidmk/diabetes-cant-be-cured-with-low-carb-diets-8b645c935373 …

          Did taking more insulin and eating carbs cure diabetes?

          Your article is dumb. The paper never claimed cure. And read our paper - results were verified with physician records.

          And the language in our paper is cautionary because there is more to normalizing BGLs than just the LC - proper use of insulin to cover LC, protein meals is also required and will be detailed in future work. Here's the thriving t1d kids from the study- no cures, just normal BGLspic.twitter.com/5KCDtzgtd0

          Has there been a controlled trial on the standard protocol w/positive results?I think not.Following the standard of care w/carb based diet gives us inevitable complications.I’ll take my low carb diet, 4.8% a1c. 80-90s flat lined blood sugar w/low standard deviation. @DikemanDavepic.twitter.com/VkSUUhnJrW

          Basically the data look like this. The mistreatment of t1d and t1d children via an obviously incorrect high carb protocol is an absolute outrage.pic.twitter.com/jqWA7NqceD

          What a sad sack you are. There are now enough of us wearing actual glucose monitors to be able to tell what is true or not. We know exactly what #lchf does to blood sugars and exactly what each high carb meal does. The result, we eat #lchf.
