I agree - truly a Christmas miracle.Ah! A Christmas miracle!
When I read your post I had a very mean thought that I hoped that eating their diet advice words gave then indigestion. Although perhaps not that mean when you think that those words probably help contribute to a lot of foot amputations.We thought it would never happen. Now all the diabetes 'experts' will need to quietly eat their diet advice words.
Though poetic justice might suggest their advice gave them diabetes....When I read your post I had a very mean thought that I hoped that eating their diet advice words gave then indigestion.

Yes - I absolutely agree - that definitely would be poetic justice.Though poetic justice might suggest their advice gave them diabetes....
Hard to ignore? - I disagree, since Virta are I the business of selling their services so the same charges of Bias can be levelled at them as at Big Pharma or Big Food. So on a rational comparative basis, the UK results of Roy Taylor (Newcastle Diet) and Dr David Unwin ( a Southport GP) are much more trustworthy.Perhaps we should be thanking Virta. After all, their ongoing track record is providing clear evidence of improved bg control, reduced drug use and better health outcomes for T2s in America. Hard to ignore stats like this:

I think the charges are a $500.00 one off and $370.00 pcm, which equates to circa £3,816.06, so around £318.00 per month. Whilst this is expensive for a private individual, these costs would be clawed back within an holistic management program in know time (I actually think most people could get by on half or even a quarter of year (£159.00 or £106.00),In my opinion it’s the methodology and definitions of remission (or whatever one chooses to call it) that inform me as to whether a study, or a collection of clinical evidence (as in the case of Dr David Unwin) is reliable/believable. Virta operates in a healthcare system which is privatised and necessarily charges for it’s services. To my mind, their long-term study of patients eating real food constitutes highly valid and reliable evidence.
Which is why there should be a "Prove It" campaign, compromised of 2 to 3 areasSo we both agree that for us the Virta is valid and reliable evidence. But that is because of our personal experience and our level of education on the subject.
However does this apply to the general public?
Not from what I have seen on Twitter or YouTube.
There, the average person may be prey to conspiracy theorists and thus distrust any 'paid for' research or even anybody who has a related book deal.
