By Lynda Lian (Type 1 Diabetic)
In 2022, I embarked on a transformative journey with the low-carb diet, guided by the expertise of Dr. Virginia Hartono. Facing the challenges of Type 1 diabetes (was misdiagnosed as Type 2), my health took a positive turn under Dr. Virginia’s care. Unlike previous diagnoses, Dr. Virginia’s accurate identification of my condition became a pivotal moment, allowing for targeted and effective management.
I have complete trust in Dr. Virginia’s diabetes management program, centered around a low-carb diet as I watched my health improved significantly within a month. This dietary shift played a crucial role in gaining control over my blood sugar levels. I now require a mere 6 units per day of insulin, a stark contrast to the 10-12 units per meal I have been told to have as a type 1 diabetic. The success of my journey not only speaks of the effectiveness of the low-carb approach but also highlights the importance of personalized, expert-guided care in managing chronic conditions.
Through close monitoring by Dr. Virginia and her team, my low-carb diet journey stands as a testament to the impact of tailored medical intervention. My story reflects the power of a holistic approach to diabetes management, encompassing both medical expertise and lifestyle modifications. With my latest Hba1c of 5.4%, I’m extremely pleased that my sugar is under control, that I can maintain a low daily insulin dosage, and that I can still enjoy healthy and delicious low carb meals without missing out on anything in life.
