It’s not without tradeoffs. There’s a substantial overlap between T1 and CHD, and the impacts of keto on CHD in non-normal populations (hyper-responders, metabolic patients) are even more poorly understood than they are in the general population.

Lowering carbs is one thing; LCHF is an entirely different beast (and I say this both as a T1 and a T1 who tried LCHF for nearly a year).

It’s an option for some, but billing it as “remission” is going to make people think it’s a cure-all, when it’s far from that, and isn’t exactly “new” for the treatment of T1 - it’s both part of the general instruction set (“reduce carbs”) and even prior to insulin therapy, was the only treatment for T1, and it had a pretty poor success rate.

What does CHD stand for in this context?

Coronary heart disease. CVD (cardiovascular disease) may be more appropriate as it’s less specific but still covers the linkage between the two conditions.
