Abstract
Aims: Diagnosis of GLUT-1 deficiency in patients with periodic ataxia is often delayed. Classical ketogenic diet is recommended but difficult to comply to whereas the modified Atkins diet is far easier to manage for patients. There are no data regarding the benefit of a modified Atkins diet in patients with GLUT-1 deficiency past puberty. It is unknown whether improvement can be assessed with objective methods that are routinely used for example M-ABC or neuropsychological testing.
