Can you please stop spamming idiotic comments all over this thread?! And read the article!

It’s about diabetes Type I, which cannot be cured by diet, as it’s caused by too little insulin in the body, not too much as with Type II.

There do seem to be a decent number of T1D patients who use keto diets to keep their blood sugar flat and reduce insulin requirements.

Yes, but you still need insulin on keto. In fact, starting keto can be dangerous for a T1D at first until you find out what your new, lower, requirements are. You put yourself at risk of hypoglycemia, so you have to be extra careful with dosing while you're figuring it out. Because of that, a closed loop artificial pancreas could be incredibly helpful for a T1D going on keto as well.

Your parent is trying to imply a way to survive on less insulin. Which is basically eating less to no sugar.

Though insulin is important for your body. The need for insulin is largely related to glucose metabolism.

In short eat less sugar.
