The bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is one of the oldest vaccines in history and has been investigated as a potential treatment for type 1 diabetes by Dr. Denise Faustman and her team at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) for over a decade. A new study published today in npj Vaccines describes the long-term outcomes of BCG administration to patients with type 1 diabetes. The study enrolled 282 individuals, 52 of whom received the vaccine. The average age of type 1 diabetes duration among the cohort was 19 years. The patients were followed for over eight years, and their A1c levels were evaluated. The study reports that patients with type 1 diabetes who received just two doses of the BCG vaccine, spaced four weeks apart, achieved markedly lower A1c levels compared to the control group. This result was observed three years after the vaccine administration and continued for the next five years […]

My personal experience with managing my type 1 diabetes with a ketogenic diet and exercise

Listen to Dr Carrie Diulus, US board-certified orthopaedic spinal surgeon and a thriving type 1 diabetic explain how she uses the vegan ketogenic diet and insulin strategies to manage her diabetes. This episode is great for type 1 diabetics or vegan/vegetarians wondering if low carb/keto diets could work for them.

Undoubtedly, food intake and blood glucose levels are intimately connected, and diet plays a central role in post-prandial blood glucose levels. There is much debate about diet when it comes to managing type 1 diabetes. While many have found success with a low-carbohydrate approach, the diet remains controversial. In particular, little research has been conducted on the use of a low-carbohydrate approach for the management of type 1 diabetes in children. A new study, published today in the journal Pediatrics, examined the effects of a very low-carbohydrate diet on glycemic control and adverse events in a cohort of adults and children with type 1 diabetes. Overall, the research demonstrated that the study participants experienced dramatic improvements in HbA1c levels, with remarkable glucose stability, and a low rate of adverse events when following a low-carbohydrate approach. Study Design The survey-based study was funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive […]
