DUK is riding the government gravy train so has to promote the government line as dictated by SACN and NICE.I think the DuK staff do police that forum for correct messaging on such topics so I am grateful that the discussion here is more free ranging!
The head of research which talks about remission being possible via bariatric surgery or the low calorie Newcastle Diet. He dismissed what i presume to be Virta Study because he didn't consider it to be randomised. Nor is Direct of course.
As your story shows the current advice tending towards high carb/low fat doesn't seem to work well for everyone but is still emphasised by DuK in its leaflets on 'Eating Well ' with diabetes in which it states that we all need some carbs and whilst you may choose to eat less of them, you mustn't eat too much saturated fat (not very appealing).
