      Hi, Sonette. Very low-carbohydrate plans like the keto diet have indeed been used to support good health in type 1 diabetics. I would recommend he discuss the option with his health care provider, especially if he has any complications that might limit his food choices. If he is a good candidate, we would be happy to help. Just let us know.
