General Information Only

The information on Glysimi is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

I am not a physician, dietitian, or licensed healthcare provider. I am someone with type 1 diabetes sharing:

What I've learned from published scientific research
My personal experiences living with diabetes
Information from credentialed healthcare professionals and researchers

This content should complement, not replace, professional medical advice.

Critical Safety Warnings

NEVER make changes to diabetes management without medical supervision, especially:

⚠️ Insulin dosages or timing - Incorrect insulin use can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis
⚠️ Diabetes medications - Including sulfonylureas, SGLT2 inhibitors, and other glucose-lowering drugs
⚠️ Dietary changes - Dramatic carbohydrate reduction requires immediate medication adjustment
⚠️ Exercise routines - Can significantly affect blood glucose levels
⚠️ Stopping any prescribed medication - Must be done under medical supervision

Blood sugar changes can occur rapidly and can be dangerous. Always work closely with qualified healthcare professionals who know your complete medical history.

Consultation Required

Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals before:

Making significant dietary changes
Adjusting medications or insulin dosages
Starting new exercise programs
Implementing any information from this website
Making any medical decisions

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of information on this website.

Individual Variation

Medical and nutritional information affects individuals differently based on:

Type of diabetes (type 1, type 2, LADA, etc.)
Current medications and dosages
Other medical conditions
Age, activity level, and metabolic factors
Genetics and individual physiology

What works for one person may not work for another. Information on this site describes general concepts and research findings, not personalized medical recommendations.

Emergency Situations

This website does NOT provide emergency medical guidance.

If you experience:

Severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Signs of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
Any medical emergency

Call emergency services immediately or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not rely on information from this website in emergency situations.

3. Research Summaries and Scientific Content

Educational Interpretation

Research summaries on this site are educational interpretations of published scientific studies. They:

Summarize findings in accessible language
Do not constitute medical recommendations
May not capture all nuances of the original research
Should not replace reading the original research articles

Always refer to original research articles for complete methodology, limitations, and findings.

Research Limitations

Scientific research has inherent limitations:

Studies are conducted under controlled conditions that may not reflect real-world situations
Findings may not apply to all populations or individuals
Research evolves; today's findings may be refined or contradicted by future research
Study quality, funding sources, and methodology affect reliability

I strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee that all research interpretations are error-free or complete.

Controversial Content

Some content on this site discusses approaches that differ from conventional medical guidelines, including:

Very low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes management
Questioning established nutritional recommendations
Alternative perspectives on metabolic health

This content represents legitimate scientific debate and published research. However:

Mainstream medical organizations may disagree
Your healthcare provider may have different recommendations
Current guidelines exist for reasons you should understand before departing from them

Always discuss alternative approaches with your healthcare team before implementing them.

4. Personal Experience and Anecdotal Information

When I share personal experiences or case reports:

These are individual experiences, not universal outcomes
Results vary significantly between individuals
Personal experience does not constitute medical evidence
Anecdotal information cannot replace scientific research or medical advice

Never assume you will achieve the same results described in personal experiences or case reports.

5. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Using this website does NOT create a doctor-patient, healthcare provider-patient, or professional advisory relationship between you and me or any contributor to this site.

I cannot and do not:

Diagnose medical conditions
Prescribe treatments
Provide personalized medical advice
Replace your healthcare provider
Monitor your health status
