MANAGING TYPE 1 DIABETES WITH DIET Bethany's son, River, has Type 1 diabetes. She struggled for years trying to control his blood sugar level. Eventually, she figured out what worked best was a low carb diet in conjunction with properly administered insulin. Her documentary is very well made! The stories are incredibly compelling. If you're not crying by the end, you simply are not human. Bethany is featured in the Fat Doc. Her family's story is one of the most prominent in the documentary. This family went above and beyond for their son. Their son is a star tennis player, an incredible student, musician, person, and more. It is no longer a crisis now that they have his diet in control. When her son was 5, he suffered from ketoacidosis. They knew they had to change everything. A low carb diet made the biggest difference. Bethany really had a problem with doctors saying "keep feeding him crap so he can continue to be a child." Eating horribly is not a necessary component of having a childhood, especially if that unhealthy lifestyle is negatively affecting a kid's health. River went cold turkey from a high carb to a low carb diet. It was really hard work from taking a kid to do this. However, as a parent, it is completely possible. It took her about 8 weeks, and now River is totally on board. He recognizes how much better he feels now.
