New edition for Ketonet, the app for the management of the ketogenic diet developed by the team of Prof. Baresi of DEIB in collaboration with the Associazione Italiana Glut1 onlus and thanks to the medical-scientific collaboration of the Centro di Studi e Ricerche sulla Nutrizione umana e i disturbi del comportamento alimentare of the University of Pavia.

Thanks to the new interface, it will be even easier for patients and their families to build their own ketogenic meals, to keep in constant contact with their reference doctors and to exchange food information and clinical data. Today this particular diet is widely used not only for slimming and sports purposes, but also in the medical field to treat specific pathologies characterized by drug-resistant epilepsy or migraine.

For the deficiency of Glut1, a very rare neurological pathology of genetic origin, the ketogenic diet is currently the only treatment available to keep symptoms under control. Thanks to this IT tool, the families of these patients have thus received great support in the creation of meals, which require extreme care in the dosage and in the choice of "permitted" foods.
