Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Beth McNally, MS, MA, CNS®, LDN, CKNS®, is the co-founder, along with her husband, Matt, of T1D Nutrition—a company providing the support and education that people with T1D need in order to thrive. She has earned a Masters in Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health from Maryland University of Integrative Health and another Masters in Public Policy from the University of Sydney. After here son was diagnosed with T1D in 2015 she and her husband began researching like crazy in order to learn how to prevent the long and short term risks of the disease. They came to realize that one of the best ways to reduce diabetes complications is to keep blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible. This led them to adopt an approach to T1D care for their son that would revolutionize his life and theirs—Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction.

In this episode, Dr. Tro and Beth talk about…

• (05:42) Beth’s son’s T1D diagnosis and how she discovered the power of the low carb diet for people with T1D
• (09:37) Beth’s experience of walking the tightrope of caring for her recently T1D diagnosed son and the obstacles she faced right away
• (21:37) Why every T1D person should be aware of Therapeutic Carb Reduction
• (25:03) How Beth’s journey, beginning with her son’s diagnosis in 2015, led her to eventually publishing two of the most important documents in the history of T1D literature
• (33:47) How we can drastically impact health in North America simply by changing the food landscape back to eating real food
• (41:06) How the IPTN Type 1 Guidlines and SMHP Position Statement can help impact health of T1D people everywhere
