Type 1 Diabetes ketogenic lifestyle courses

Description

The Keto Courses, Essential and Advanced are designed for clinicians managing Type 1 Diabetes, including diabetologists, specialist nurses, primary care staff of all clinical grades, and therapists working with people with Type 1 diabetes. They will also appeal to those with Type 1 diabetes themselves who need detailed information on managing their condition with a ketogenic diet. 

The courses are based on over three decades of experience working on the front line of a public health service. A UK NHS doctor has designed this course, Dr Ian Lake, who is a GP and himself has Type 1 diabetes. He has experience from both sides of the consultation desk as a patient and a clinician and with both high-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. There is a recognition that some clinicians will have a need only to grasp the basic information but others will be wanting to delve deeper if time or interest allows. With constraints on time and resources, it is a constant challenge to keep abreast of significant changes in clinical practice. It is even more of a challenge to implement changes in ideas and practice. A ketogenic lifestyle for many clinicians will require a paradigm shift in thinking. For patients even more so. Many patients are not trained in critical thinking and self-reliance. They will be looking for expert guidance from their clinician that will support their choice of a ketogenic lifestyle. The learning objectives in these courses provide appropriate and essential information that clinicians can put into practice safely and build up confidence through practice. There is an option of mentoring if required. People living with Type 1 diabetes should find the courses relevant to them. The aim is for consultations in Type 1 diabetes to be a collaboration between clinician and their patient with expert support for a ketogenic lifestyle if the patient chooses it.
