About

The investigators have identified a support group on social media with ~1500 members (children and adults), the majority of whom have T1DM and follow a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Many participants report exceptionally low HbA1C and insulin requirements. If these anecdotal reports are reflective of a large group of people with type 1 diabetes, a clinical trial would be warranted.

The investigators propose to survey the above-mentioned group and their professional diabetes care providers to characterize glycemic control and explore associated dietary and diabetes care factors.

Full description

The surveys will address questions in the following domains: 1) Diabetes diagnosis and treatment; 2) Carbohydrate-restricted diet; 3) Insulin regimen; 4) Other diabetes related care; 5) Diabetes complications; 6) Other related health and healthcare; 7) Patient provider interactions; 8) Socio-demographics. Drafts of these surveys are included in the appendix of this protocol.
