[QUOTE="Southport GP, post: 660031, member: 74036"] [B]Update on the low carb in general practice research we did- Low carb does works longer term! The full research paper can be seen here;[/B] [URL='http://www.practicaldiabetes.com/SpringboardWebApp/userfiles/espdi/file/March%202014/PP%20Unwin%20final%20proofs%20revised.pdf']http://www.practicaldiabetes.com/SpringboardWebApp/userfiles/espdi/file/March 2014/PP Unwin final proofs revised.pdf[/URL] the idea was that you could print off copies for any doubting or interested health care proffessionals. Some of the responses doubted the results and were not impressed by 'short term improvements' and wondered could the sheme be extended? Well now i can answer both points [LIST] [*]The latest results after over a year for the original group members on the low carb diet show very similar results; average weight loss 8.4kg, average reduction in HbA1c of 8mmol/mol so the members of the group still have an excellent average HbA1c of 42.7 mmol/mol.:D [/LIST] [LIST] [*]We were awarded a CCG grant to start a small evening clinic and have now helped 38 people with type two diabetes to loose an average of 9 Kg in weight which has brought about an average improvement in HbA1c of 10 mmol/mol, not to mention the reductions in cholesterol and the pride those folk have in their achievements:joyful: [/LIST] I hope to have a further paper published in the Diabesity in Practice paper very soon While i'm on- have you seen the blog another GP Katharine Morrison has done on this subject at [url]http://diabetesdietblog.com/[/url] ?:) [/QUOTE]
