Can a ketogenic diet revolutionize the management of type 1 diabetes? In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Ian Lake, a UK-based physician and type 1 diabetes advocate, shares his personal and professional journey in using low-carb and ketogenic diets to improve metabolic control.
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 36, Dr. Lake initially followed conventional high-carb recommendations—until he discovered the power of nutritional ketosis. He breaks down how reducing insulin volumes, optimizing glucose levels, and becoming fat-adapted transformed his health and life.
From running 700 miles while following a ketogenic diet to leading type 1 diabetes retreats, Dr. Lake shares actionable insights on metabolic flexibility, insulin sensitivity, and the real-world implications of a ketogenic approach.
