asGLUTdiece 🧬

Its work focuses on sharing reliable information about GLUT1, raising awareness of the condition, supporting patients and relatives, and promoting research. The association seeks to connect families with hospitals, research centres, therapists, affected people and caregivers, helping build a stronger, more informed community.

Through its website, asGLUT1diece provides educational resources about GLUT1 deficiency and ketogenic therapy, including information on the diet, suitable foods, books, recipes and specialists. It also shares news and articles on relevant health and research topics, and organises events and awareness activities. The association explains that the ketogenic diet is high in fat, low in carbohydrates and controlled in protein, encouraging the production of ketone bodies that can provide the brain with an alternative energy source to glucose.

People can support its work by sharing information, contributing to fundraising and helping promote research. asGLUT1diece offers families a point of contact for information, connection and support.
