Default Lower Carb vs Higher Carb Diets Type I Diabetics

Old knowledge is that Type I Diabetics could get along on ketogenic diets - which means virtually no carbohydrates.

Now we have this fantastic new study on higher carbohydrate vs lower carbohydrate diets for type I Diabetics.


What did they find --- that the lower carb/higher fat(monounsaturated) diet could offer benefits for NON_OBESE type I diabetics.

This rapid speed of research progress is breathtaking, or is that breath stifling.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of a eucaloric diet higher in carbohydrate/lower in fat versus lower in carbohydrate/higher in monounsaturated fat on postmeal triglyceride (TG) concentrations and other cardiovascular disease risk factors in nonobese subjects with type 1 diabetes and in good glycemic control.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a parallel group design study, 30 subjects were randomly assigned and completed one of the two eucaloric diets. Assessments included: BMI, blood pressure, A1C, plasma lipids, and markers of oxidation, thrombosis, and inflammation. At 6 months, subjects were hospitalized for 24 h to measure plasma TG excursions.

RESULTS There were no significant differences between groups other than decreased plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) levels and weight gain in the lower-carbohydrate/higher–monounsaturated fat group. During the 24-h testing, the lower-carbohydrate/higher–monounsaturated fat group had a lower plasma TG profile.

CONCLUSIONS A diet lower in carbohydrate/higher in monounsaturated fat could offer an appropriate choice for nonobese type 1 diabetic individuals with good metabolic and weight control.

Anyone ever read the book 'Seabiscuit'. I forget when it takes place, 1920s maybe. At any rate before insulin became available for diabetics.

I mention it as one of the jockeys who figures in the book (and therefore clearly not overweight by any stretch of imagination!) was a type 1 diabetic. And the book mentions how he had to follow a pretty nearly all-meat diet in order to keep his diabetes in check. Apparently that was the standard (and only) treatment for diabetes 100 years ago. How things have changed.
