TYPE 1 DIABETES
Management & Diet
with RD Dikeman | Roxanne Dikeman | Dave Dikeman
Normalize your blood sugar levels. Reduce your risk for complications.
Do your blood sugars fluctuate
wildly throughout the day?
- Are you worried about long-term complications from high blood sugar?
- Are you experiencing scary and dangerous hypos?
- Do you want to get started with the low-carb approach but have a million questions?
It doesn’t have to be this way!
If you’ve been following the standard advice for type 1 diabetes and your blood sugar is still all over the place then this course, Type 1 Diabetes Management & Diet, with the Dikeman family, is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
The Dikemans are experienced authorities on using low-carbohydrate nutrition to achieve truly normal blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c, following the pioneering method from renowned researcher Dr. Richard Bernstein, MD. These are the same methods detailed in the landmark paper, “Management of Type 1 Diabetes With a Very Low-Carbohydrate Diet,” which showed unprecedented glycemic control for type 1 diabetics who followed a very low-carb diet. (Dr. Dikeman was a co-author along with Dr. Bernstein and Adapt Your Life Academy co-founder, Eric Westman, MD. It was the most popular article of 2018 in the journal Pediatrics.)

Meet Your Teachers
R.D. Dikeman, PhD, is a theoretical physicist and loving husband of Roxanne Dikeman, PhD, a clinical psychologist. Their world was turned upside down when their young son David was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After following conventional dietary advice for this condition led to uncontrollable blood sugar, dangerous “hypos,” and many sleepless nights, R.D. discovered the work of Dr. Richard Bernstein, MD, a medical doctor who has used a low-carbohydrate diet to control his own type 1 diabetes for more than fifty years and pioneered some of the most groundbreaking research on low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes in the modern era. Through working closely with Dr. Bernstein and as a founder of the Type One Grit online community, R.D. has helped provide thousands of other individuals and families living with type 1 diabetes with information to reduce the threat of complications and attain the truly normal blood sugars that all type 1 diabetics deserve.
