"...I finally understood how I could safely transition my family into eating low carb and I'm happy my kid is no longer running constantly high."

"My 2 year old got diagnosed at the end of last year and the first couple of months I was competently lost. Her BG was constantly up and down and i just couldn't figure it out with the tools her endo was giving me. I had read a little bit about low carb but I felt so hesitant to making the change because I simply didn't feel confident enough in my knowledge to go low carb, that's when I came across Beth's course, after taking the program I finally understood how I could safely transition my family into eating low carb and I'm happy my kid is no longer running constantly high.

Beth was really approachable through the length of the course, and she creates a great commitment were you can ask questions and share experiences with other DT1 parents. I highly recommend any families who are struggling with keeping their kid's BG levels in range to give this a try!"
