A licensed or registered dietitian or nutritionist must be the initial person who registers for the KDC. Once registered, he/she can create a Diet Calculation, then provide separate access for his/her clients to co-create ketogenic meals and snacks.

KDC was initially designed to manage precision ketogenic diets for people with epilepsy, but it has been used for a growing list of conditions including autism spectrum disorders, brain and other cancers, cognitive and mood disorders, diabetes, genetic metabolic disorders, migraine headache, polycystic ovarian syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

KDC creates meal plans in grams, which requires the patient or client to use a gram scale to weigh each food within a meal or snack.

KDC identifies the net carbohydrate, along with the fiber content of each food included in meals and snacks, and provides a sum of each.

KDC can be instantly translated using the Google Chrome platform. Simply select your desired language from the list of available languages.
