Healthy T1D Community

Mission: It is the vision of this group to create a safe space for people with type one diabetes, where a basic level of awareness and understanding is the norm in our community. The group generally follow a low carb, high protein (LCHP) approach to normalizing blood glucose.

From www.ic.org/directory/healthy-t1d/:

We are a group of families and individuals who follow Dr. Bernstein's dietary guidelines for achieving normal blood sugars even with impaired or absent pancreatic function. While this group is primarily focused on people with type one diabetes, it is open to family, friends, and those with type two diabetes who are also following Dr. Bernstein's methods.

Individual members and families live in their own homes, although some may choose to live in shared housing if desired. Everyone in the community recognizes the challenges that we go through to act as an external pancreas for ourselves or our loved ones. We offer emotional support and a wealth of communal knowledge to each other in times of need, such as during illness, stress, growth spurts, unusual exercise patterns, and other challenges of management.
