Outcomes are improving for people with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D). We (@T1DExchange) observed improved outcomes for 48,000+ PwT1D in our new paper. Inequities by race and insurance exists but we are addressing that as well 👇🏿 #T1D liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/di…

How to give feedback without being a jerk: 1. Be a coach, not a critic. Aim to help, not attack. 2. Don't assert opinion as fact. You're sharing your subjective reaction, not the objective truth. 3. Be honest, not brutal. Be direct in what you say, but kind in how you say it.

@_eleanorina @ryanattar Dear Dr Ryan, I believe in the benefit of diet and physical activities for people with type 1 diabetes. We are working towards the same goal of improving outcomes. I just ask for a mutually respectable conversation.

@ryanattar @ebekozien I thought his reply was good, "I agree with you Dr Berry. This report is in no way bragging. We are simply reporting improvement in MEAN outcomes. Prior report showed outcomes actually getting worse 2012-2018. We can continue to work together to drive more significant change."

This scientist @ebekozien blocked me for calling out his awful diabetes study! You’d think a good scientist would want to defend his work. Not this guy! Check out my reply to his tweet and let him know how you feel!

8.7% a1c to 8.4% a1c. Yikes, @ebekozien! Both are terrible and well within the range of diabetic complications. I could eat pizza and grocery store sheet cake every day and get a (still awful) 6-7% a1c. Im a T1, I cut out the carbs and maintain my 4.6% a1c, with blood sugars flat and stable 80-90mg/dL. @DikemanDave @ItIsMikeFitz @T1Factz

@ebekozien @KenDBerryMD Please watch Dr Berry's Videos on improving and reversing Diabetes And how to have a <5.7 A1C for T1D. And then help spread the truth so everyone can live in a non diabetic world.

You don't seriously believe that an A1c of 8.4% is anything to brag about, right? Severe diabetic complications are guaranteed with that level... Diabetics deserve a normal A1c < 5.7%, right?

@ZenQueen_zen @ryanattar @T1DExchange Am sorry to hear about the mass. I hope things are better. I align with you that people with diabetes deserve better. We all want normal glucose levels. We need to continue to work together to achieve that goal.

Diabetics are entitled to normal blood sugars. There’s nothing normal about such high a1c and certainly nothing to gloat about. Wanting normal sugars is why I went low carb and it was working real well until I found out my diabetes was only a symptom of something more sinister (a mass on my pancreas).

@thelowcarb_rd @T1DExchange Dear Mike, I actually agree with you on the importance of diet and exercise in supporting people with diabetes. Regarding the paper, we are reporting MEAN outcomes for more than 40,000 people. Within that number, there were people will higher HbA1c drops.

@ebekozien @T1DExchange Am I reading this right? These patients took 1 year to go from 8.7% to 8.4%???? They basically did nothing. I can routinely take T1's from 8% to 6.5% in less than 3 months with no technology. Happy to share. twitter.com/thelowcarb_rd/…

🚨 14th November is World Diabetes Day so let me tell you a true story: Just prior to September 2023 my good friend who lives with Type 1 Diabetes started experiencing numbness in his fingers + clouding in his eye 😔 Up until this point his hba1c had been around 8% for a long time. His diabetes team said that was "fine" 😬 Following standard advice he was eating 300g carbohydrates per day. On 1.9.23 we reduced that to 150g max daily, saving 30g to treat hypos. He lifts weights 3x weekly also. His hba1c has reduced significantly (see graph) and he's on route to normalizing his blood sugars for the first time in his life 🥳 👉Why this matters: ✅ He no longer has numbness in his fingers ✅ his clouding will likely resolve ✅ his insulin use is down ✅ he spends more time in range now ✅ his CVD risk is way less now. 👉The lesson: Hba1c is directly proportional to your carbohydrate intake (research backs this up so it's not just n=1). This isn't hard. It isn't restrictive. But it may just save your life.
