Glut1異常症患者会

GLUT1 Austria is a self-help association founded by parents affected by GLUT1 deficiency syndrome. It works to raise awareness of the condition and provide a point of contact for people seeking information and support with ketogenic nutrition therapy. The association also helps members connect with one another and access practical guidance.

Its activities include sharing information about GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a rare, chronic, genetically caused metabolic disorder, and explaining medically indicated ketogenic diet therapy, a carefully balanced diet with a very high fat content. GLUT1 Austria organizes online and in-person talks, regular meetups, and cooking classes. It also offers advice before therapy begins and, when needed, support through the process of gradually discontinuing it.

Members and families can contact the association by phone, WhatsApp, Signal, or email. The organization serves people in eastern and western Austria, with regional contacts available for both areas. Through education, peer connection, and ongoing guidance, GLUT1 Austria aims to help affected individuals and families navigate the challenges associated with the condition and its dietary therapy.
