dad of an 8 y/o T1D here, and tbh, "how about just ..." is about the worst thing you can say to anyone dealing with this, especially given the subject of this post. things are just never the same. maybe they will be later in adulthood? i feel like i'm in a position to beta test this with my kiddo and i don't like it at all.

I understand that T1D is special, but this is said for every disorder.

There are many levels to keto diet, and believe me, you can't do the epilepsy version even if you'd wanted, it takes time and hard effort, for children it's done inside a hospital.

So assuming you watch everything they eat, you can keep track of GCM, and try very slowly. Like going from 60-30-10 carb-protein-fat to 50-30-20 ratio, do they have better consistent blood sugar ?

There should be protocols to do this for T1D the safest way.
