Article for American Diabetes Association Journal

1/23/2012

12 Comments

 
I'm going to be taking a break from blogging for at least a month, possibly more, for a very good reason. The  editors at Diabetes Spectrum, a journal of the American Diabetes Association, have asked me to write an article on a low-carbohydrate meal pattern for people with diabetes and prediabetes. Needless to say, this is extremely exciting news and an offer I absolutely could not refuse! Diabetes Spectrum is a peer-reviewed journal whose subscribers are physicians, nurse practitioners, and certified diabetes educators. This could help increase awareness about the benefits and safety of low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes management, which is the reason I started this website in the first place.  I'll need to spend many hours researching and writing this article, and since I already have a full-time job and like to devote at least part of my free time to non-nutrition-related things, the blog will have to take a back seat until I've completed the piece. 

Thank you all for understanding and for supporting my efforts.  I'll definitely be back by mid-to-early March, hopefully with some interesting information  about the latest in low-carb research.

Way to go!

This is kind of a big-deal. Maybe healthcare providers will at least begin to consider the possibility that consuming less than the ADA recommended 130 grams/day of carbohydrate can help diabetics improve glycemic control without causing their brains to freeze-up.

Thanks, Sam! I think it's pretty big as well. Very hopeful about the future of nutritional management of diabetes.

Congratulations Franziska! I've enjoyed reading your well researched and well written blog posts, they're always thought provoking. This is a venue that has needed a discussion of low carb as a viable treatment option for diabetes. I know you'll knock this journal article out of the park.

Congratulations! such an invitation is an honor.
I just learned about your blog today, and very happy to have found it. I've been low carb for several years, and primal/paleo for a bit over a year. Thank you for this blog; a professional always has a greater voice to advance the message of low carb.
