Thank you that’s so kind! It would be so great to win it for all the low carb community especially as the tide seems to be turning now! I’ve been invited by David Unwin to speak in Parliament on 27th June! We will be discussing type 2 diabetes remission and how there is hope! I’m so excited and...

I have got people on metformin with an Hba1c under 48 but I wouldn’t class them as in remission as still on meds but I totally get what you mean as that’s how they feel too. It’s totally patient centred and what patients want to do.

Hi Ellie, I’ve only just seen your kind words-thank you! I’m actually a practice nurse but my passion is diabetes. Here’s an article that Diabetes Times did on me! I’ve had so much support from social media and on here-I can’t thank everyone enough...
Hi. Yes you’re quite right not everyone is keen and everyone has totally different needs and their circumstances are all different. I wouldn’t force anyone to do anything they’re not happy with. Some patients completely go low carb and others reduce their carbs enough to make a difference; it...
Thank you! I’m really pleased that your nurse is supportive of LCHF too! I’m so pleased that I came across it 15 months ago as it’s changed my life and a lot of my patients! A patient bought me the 8 week blood sugar book and that was it, overnight change quite literally and never looked back!
