Article for American Diabetes Association Journal
I’m going to be taking a break from blogging for at least a month, possibly more, for a very good reason. The editors at Diabetes Spectrum, a journal of the American Diabetes Association, have asked me to write an article on a low-carbohydrate meal pattern for people with diabetes and prediabetes. Needless to say, this is extremely exciting news and an offer I absolutely could not refuse! Diabetes Spectrum is a peer-reviewed journal whose subscribers are physicians, nurse practitioners, and certified diabetes educators. This could help increase awareness about the benefits and safety of low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes management, which is the reason I started this website in the first place. I’ll need to spend many hours researching and writing this article, and since I already have a full-time job and like to devote at least part of my free time to non-nutrition-related things, the blog will have to take a back seat until I’ve completed the piece.
Thank you all for understanding and for supporting my efforts. I’ll definitely be back by mid-to-early March, hopefully with some interesting information about the latest in low-carb research.
Way to go!
This is kind of a big-deal. Maybe healthcare providers will at least begin to consider the possibility that consuming less than the ADA recommended 130 grams/day of carbohydrate can help diabetics improve glycemic control without causing their brains to freeze-up.
Thanks, Sam! I think it’s pretty big as well. Very hopeful about the future of nutritional management of diabetes.
Good job! 😉 We definitely need more of that!
Thanks, Aglaee!
That’s quite and honor, Franziska. We’ll be here when you get back.

Thanks so much, Steve! Extremely flattered that I was chosen to write about a topic I’m so passionate about.
Congratulations Franziska! I’ve enjoyed reading your well researched and well written blog posts, they’re always thought provoking. This is a venue that has needed a discussion of low carb as a viable treatment option for diabetes. I know you’ll knock this journal article out of the park.
Thanks so much, BadMoonT2! I truly appreciate your kind words and support.
Congratulations Franziska! You make your mom proud.
Thanks, Mom!
Congratulations! such an invitation is an honor.
I just learned about your blog today, and very happy to have found it. I’ve been low carb for several years, and primal/paleo for a bit over a year. Thank you for this blog; a professional always has a greater voice to advance the message of low carb.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Nan! Your blog is wonderful. Congratulations on all you’ve accomplished.
