Summary
Charlotte is living with type 1 diabetes and decided the best way to manage it was by limited her carbohydrate intake to no more than 50 grams per day, yet still experienced high blood glucose values (over 300 mg/dL) after eating a banana or half a sweet potato
She often complained to herself: “I eat almost no carbs and my blood sugar is still high! How is this possible?”
After switching to a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet, Charlotte now eats whole-carbohydrate foods without experiencing dramatic blood glucose spikes, has reached her ideal body weight and has more energy than she knows what to do with!
