Case report: Ketogenic diet alleviated anxiety and depression associated with insulin-dependent diabetes management.

Differentiating between an irrational versus a rational fear of hypoglycemia has treatment implications and presents significant challenge for clinicians facing patients with type 1 diabetes, illustrated in this case. A 39-year-old woman with autoimmune-positive insulin-dependent diabetes sought help to alleviate severe diabetes distress, and symptoms of depression and anxiety, associated with unpredictable drastic blood glucose drops. After exhausting conventional methods, she adopted a ketogenic diet (KD).

Uncertainties in linac primary barrier transmission values.

Primary barrier design for linac shielding depends very sensitively on tenth value layer (TVL) data. Inaccuracies can lead to large discrepancies between measured and calculated values of the barrier transmission. Values of the TVL for concrete quoted in several widely used standard references are substantially different than those calculated more recently.

Nutritional ketosis is well-tolerated, even in type 1 diabetes: the ZeroFive100 Project; a proof-of-concept study.

Purpose Of Review: The objective of this study was to test the feasibility of exercising over a 5-day period while fasting, in those with and without type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Eight individuals, ages 29--62 years, two with T1DM, walked/ran around 20 miles per day for five consecutive days while only consuming water. All eight individuals completed the project with no physical injuries or problems with diabetes control.
