This week on the podcast Mikki is back with Dr Andrew Koutnik, PhD, researcher at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, for a continuation of their conversation last week about his experience as an adult diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 18 years, and discovering a lower carbohydrate approach as the best practice management for that. Andrew is a passionate guy, and that comes across in the interview as we discuss the pitfalls of type 1 diabetes management and why matching insulin to carbohydrate load is not the best way to manage blood sugars.
