I've been asked by my sister-in-law to find some info on the Ketogenic diet on behalf of her daughter (my niece). My niece has been recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes ( she's 19) and is also an elite athlete. She is really struggling with weight gain and managing insulin highs and lows with the excercise demanded for her sport ( hockey goalie) since she's been going along with conventional wisdom that recommends the whole carb-loading nonsense. She's also been hurt psychologically by an idiot coach who wouldn't let her play after she was diagnosed with diabetes I need some resources that would be appropriate for a 20 year- old and a non- science savvy mom. I am not an expert by any means and have not read any of the ketogenic books yet so I don't feel comfortable recommending books on this. However, my niece needs to be at peak performance for college tryouts in the spring and her mom did ask my help after I'd mentioned this diet. Hopefully she can find a nutritionist who specializes in diabetes to help her with this if she's interested since she shouldn't attempt this on her own.
Any suggestions?
