Join us on your new journey that begins with a four-day immersive course at our new venue Ham Green House, Bristol. Here you will learn all about how to manage diabetes to the optimum based on sound science. The four-day residential course is just the beginning of your journey. Here you will learn about the Optimised Insulin Programme developed by Dr Ian Lake after a decade of living this lifestyle after much research and experimentation. After this, you will have the opportunity to be in a WhatsApp group with your fellow students. It is a great time to consolidate your knowledge and enjoy the support of other people living with type 1 diabetes. At six months you will be invited to a one-to-one catch-up with Dr Ian Lake to review the course and prepare for your future with confidence that you have the information to firmly put you in control.

You only have one shot at it, and we believe that lifelong good health is worth striving for. Type 1 diabetes is difficult to manage and those with the condition, have to be on full alert twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year. Our ambition is that our courses will provide high quality, up to date evidence that it is available to all people with type 1 diabetes. They offer a new perspective on type 1 that often contradicts current guidelines. This course offers information on how to work with insulin rather than focus on diet. We show how insulin affects many metabolic functions in addition to diet and we know through research that it is highly effective and in fact the evidence is that it is much safer than current type 1 management advice. A ketogenic diet forms part of the course and you will get plenty of advice on how this works both in theory and practice.
The guidelines are not adequate.
Dr Ian Lake has been a medical doctor for almost four decades and has had type 1 diabetes for thirty years. Ten years ago he realised that the guideline recommendations for managing type 1 were not delivering the results he had hoped for. He went back to basics and looked at insulin metabolism using the knowledge gained from his biochemistry degree. Through reading the few resources available at the time, he realised that there was a better way to manage type 1 diabetes, which is notorious for prematurely blighting good health, often in the prime of life. After ten years of study and knowledge gained through personal lived experience of type 1 diabetes, he has developed a course that improves glucose control but crucially delivers a sense of vitality and well-being he could only have dreamed of just a decade ago. He is also proud to have been a co-author in the new position statement on therapeutic carbohydrate nutrition which was published in 2024. https://journalofmetabolichealth.org/index.php/jmh/article/view/100
Metabolic Flexibility
The reason for this is that he has discovered how people with type 1 diabetes can enable their bodies to be metabolically flexible in the same way as healthy people without type 1 diabetes. Current recommendations deny this healthy metabolism in type 1 by the way it focuses on the use of a single fuel, glucose It is not the way non-diabetics work. They can use many fuels as required. The method is easy to learn and far safer than current recommendations.
