Plus, disappointed with NHS Doctor and feeling let down by NHS Hospital Diabetes Clinic ·Send to a friend

Treatments that are against the grain, lots of drama and NHS doctors     Controversial advice was released this week, sparking some outrage in the scientific community. The National Obesity Forum (NOF) and the Public Health Collaboration (PHC) both spoke out against the recommended national health guidelines, releasing a report stating that eating more fat and less carbs can protect health, despite the fact that the national guidelines say differently. With the low-carb movement on the forum and 125,000 people in the Low Carb Program, people are experiencing the difference that low-carb can make to people with diabetes (regardless of type) and how it can help people control their blood glucose levels. Public Health England strongly defended the high-carb low-fat diet recommended by the national health guidelines. Check out the story here to find out all the drama.

Researchers at Aberdeen University are investigating whether the meditation technique can lead to lower blood glucose levels and reductions in anxiety and depression. Of course, mindfulness isn't the only off-piste treatment that has been studied in regards to diabetes (cannabis has been found by some studies to have certain benefits for diabetes management) so we won't be surprised if the study turns up some positive results.
