[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1127720, member: 93179"] A low carb diet is not exactly a [I]novel[/I] way of treating diabetes, it was first(?) [URL='https://diabeticmediterraneandiet.com/2010/08/27/dr-john-rollo-the-original-low-carb-diabetic-diet-doctor/']used in the 1790[/URL]s, and LCHF was cartainly being used in its treatment in the pre insulin era - see: [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16489278[/URL]. So there's existing evidence that it works. It seems to me that it's a matter of "lost" treatment needing to be re-discovered. And we currently have [URL='http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/home/trudi-deakin-biography']Trudi Deakin[/URL] from X-Pert Health batting for us; she wrote [URL='http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/shop/details/p/handbook-lowcarb-highfat-lifestyle/searchvalue/low%20carb']Eat Fat[/URL] which is an introduction guide to low carb, so the message [B]is[/B] spreading. I believe she's a member of our forum. [URL='http://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/news/southport-news/husband-wife-team-shortlisted-national-7426695']Dr David Unwin[/URL] who is a forum member, is also an advocate of low carb diets for diabetics, and has published his research in the prestigious BMJ. My own GP was also enlightened enough to suggest the Atkins diet for weight loss when he diagnosed me at the end of 2013 with type 2. I didn't actually try Atkins but this pointed the way to LCHF to me. So we [B]do[/B] now have some people in the right places who hopefully are being heard and noted. Robbity [/QUOTE]
