TYPE 1 DIABETES DIAGNOSIS

• Bethany has been on the podcast before.
• She and her family were featured in the first Fat Doc.
• Her son has Type 1 diabetes.
• The family discovered this when she came back from a trip, and her son’s weight had dropped from 46 to 40 lbs.
  • Immediately, she rushed him to the hospital and he was diagnosed.
• In that moment, they realized they would have to change the way they eat.
  • The dietitian was prescribing them all kinds of sugary foods.
    • She was told the kid needed 60g of carbs a meal, and she wanted to do anything she could to help him, so she did it.
    • She feels her diet was healthier before this.
• For 3 years, Bethany followed these rules and her son felt truly terrible and unhealthy.
  • Then, she discovered that high carb was not the way to go.

MANAGING TYPE 1 DIABETES

• It took Bethany awhile to realize eating all of this sugar was not helping her son.
  • He had headaches, his blood sugar was always high, and it was simply unhealthy.
• Bethany found low carb and it has, with careful control, worked wonders for her son and for her family.
  • When her son was 8, her doctor was so incredulous and said her son wouldn’t grow right and would have an eating disorder.
    • It was clear he just didn’t understand. Her son was eating veggies and good protein and the like.
• She could see what the food was doing to her son’s blood sugar, and it was clear that this diet was helping keeping it under control.
• This has given their family so much life and joy.
• Her son is healthy, smart, a stellar athlete, and has a fantastic relationship with food and with his parents.

THE DIABETES SOLUTION

• Doctors aren’t curious as to what their type 1 patients are eating.
• They don’t even ask.
• Bethany has been so frustrated by the medical community’s treatment of type 1.
• She created her own documentary which will be released on November 9th.
