You've probably heard that carbs are the enemy. And it makes sense. A carb-free meal can make for nice, steady post-meal glucose levels. But what if there's another way?
New York Times bestselling author and type 1 diabetic Robby Barbaro has pioneered a diet that aims to increase insulin sensitivity and reduce long-term health issues for all kinds of diabetes and prediabetes with a vegan, low-fat, high-carb approach.
His stats say it all: 90% time in range and an insulin to carb ratio of 75:1. That's just 1 unit of insulin for 75g of carbs or around 4 bananas!!! The standard dose is 10:1. Plus, he's a three time Ironman.
In this episode, we speak to Robby about:
