BMJ Awards 2014 No trophy I'm afraid , initially a bit disappointed I'll admit- but how amazing that a low carb for diabetes project should end up in the top five in two categories for the most important medical awards in the land ! The editor of the BMJ herself read out the citation about our...

Well tomorrow i'm off to london for the finals of the BMJ 2014 medical awards -our team is in the final 5 for both diabetes team of the year, and primary care team of the year, all based on this research. Evidence the Low carb approach is gathering momentum- I hope !

Yes some folk do better with a step-wise approach eg. 1) stop all sugar 2) cut out bread and pasta 3) out goes the cerials and rice -and so on others hit it 'cold turkey' from the start

How good to hear im not the only GP to 'see the light!'

This is very interesting Thanks - it may well support what was said in the grain brain book

Interesting perhaps we were more anti sugar than anti starch ? I thought we were both, though I do wonder if for folk at the start of their low carb journey who are on a lot of both it may be easier to eliminate sugar first and then move on to starch Mind you I know plenty of folk who did both...

My impression was they were mainly health care professionals

I have been asked for the reference for the article - its Practical Diabetes2014; 31(2); 76-79 There is an agreement that in a while it will become free to view - will keep you posted.

Thanks Modesty that is a very well researched piece of work - amazing number of references Also I think far more people have problems with gluten than is generally known The book Grain Brain has a lot more detail

I agree we have tried several of the recipes out and v good Used that site a lot before finding this blog

Im afraid I agree but at least there is increasing awareness of big pharma and it's worrying amount of influence which is a start
