Episode 321: RD Dikeman, PhD

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. R.D. Dikeman, PhD, is a theoretical physicist and loving
husband of Roxanne Dikeman, PhD, a clinical psychologist. Their
world was turned upside down when their young son David was
diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After following conventional
dietary advice for this condition led to uncontrollable blood
sugar, dangerous “hypos,” and many sleepless nights, R.D.
discovered the work of Dr. Richard Bernstein, MD, a medical
doctor who has used a low-carbohydrate diet to control his own
type 1 diabetes for more than fifty years and pioneered some of
the most groundbreaking research on low-carbohydrate diets for
diabetes in the modern era. Through working closely with Dr.
Bernstein and as a founder of the Type One Grit online community,
R.D. has helped provide thousands of other individuals and
families living with type 1 diabetes with information to reduce
the threat of complications and attain the truly normal blood
sugars that all type 1 diabetics deserve.


In this episode, Drs. Tro, Brian, and RD talk about what drew RD
into the world of Type 1 Diabetes treatment, RD’s son’s Type 1
diagnosis, how the Type One Grit group came to be, why low carb
is the optimal diet for diabetics, how to still eat what you want
on a low-carb diet, big problems with the ADA, why Type One
athletes do better on a low carb diet, the upcoming Low Carb Boca
conference, and why having courage and integrity is needed in
order to bring life saving information to Type One diabetics.
