Low Carbohydrate diet- When and how?

ADEA Podcast

Amy Rush is the 2018 CDE of the Year WA and the Jan Baldwin CDE of the Year. Amy’s passion for supporting people with type 1 diabetes began when her brother was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of seven. She wanted him to live the richest life possible. Amy continues to wish this for all her patients. In this podcast, Amy talks to Jan Alford about low carbohydrate diets and the management of diabetes. The information provided in this podcast is based on the experience and recommendations of one clinician and does not reflect national recommendations or the ADEA. People with diabetes and without should work with an Accredited Practicing Dietitian before altering or reducing their carbohydrate intake. Of note, the NHMRC have an estimated Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR) related to reduced risk of chronic disease are: • 20–35% of total energy intake from fat • 45–65% from carbohydrate • 15–25% from protein. ADEA podcasts include non-leading questions to reveal evidence based recommendations. In an attempt to maintain the integrity of the podcast conversation, we do not script the answers of our guests.
