Supporting Type 1 Diabetes with Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction and ROSETTE'S
Managing Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) can be challenging, requiring meticulous monitoring of blood glucose levels, insulin administration, and dietary choices. The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (SMHP) recently released a position statement advocating for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction (TCR) as a scientifically supported nutritional intervention for managing T1DM. This approach aligns seamlessly with the mission and products of ROSETTE'S, offering individuals a way to enjoy their favorite baked goods while maintaining better metabolic health.
TCR emphasizes reducing daily carbohydrate intake to minimize glycemic variability and improve blood sugar control. It can significantly reduce the need for large insulin doses, thereby lowering the margin for error in insulin administration and reducing the risk of hypoglycemia. Dr. Tro Kalayjian, the lead author of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners ("SMHP") position statement, is a renowned advocate for TCR. As a board-certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician, his research and clinical practice demonstrate the power of TCR in managing chronic conditions like T1DM. By decreasing the carbohydrate load in meals, patients can achieve more stable blood sugar levels and improve overall metabolic health.
The SMHP highlights that TCR is sustainable when combined with personalized support and flexible meal planning, making it an accessible option for long-term diabetes management. This is where ROSETTE'S plays a vital role. Our low-carb, sugar-free, and gluten-free baking mixes empower individuals to enjoy baked goods without the high carbohydrate burden of traditional recipes. Whether managing T1DM or simply looking to reduce carbs in your diet, ROSETTE'S offers a delicious and easy way to stay on track.
Each of our mixes is designed to keep carbohydrate content low, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. They are made with sugar-free sweeteners that should not spike blood glucose, making them ideal for those following TCR. Additionally, our gluten-free options cater to individuals with autoimmune-related gut sensitivities, which are common among those with T1DM. From cookies to cakes, you can enjoy pie crusts and cornbread, our mixes provide endless possibilities for delicious creations, all while delivering on taste and nutrition.
