Abstract

Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, physician with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), faced complications from conventional high-carbohydrate diets until he self-experimented with a Low-Carbohydrate Diet (LCD) approach. Becoming a doctor at 49, he authored numerous articles and books promoting LCD for diabetes management. His work suggests improved life expectancy for T1D. In Japan, persistently suboptimal treatments underscore the need for carbohydrate-controlled diets, a cause advanced by the Japan LCD Promotion Association (JLCDPA).
