Look at my profile pic! OTOH my father & maternal grandfather kept their hair.

Thanks for alerting us - I see the NOF is getting "blame" for the furore but I note this: The Public Health Collaboration ( www.phcuk.org ) published their comprehensive & fully referenced report that day - & several of their board shared the publicity. It is dishonest to focus on the NOF. Dr...

I searched for the http://www.nationalobesityforum.org.uk/ & the first name I saw was Steve Pound, MP for Ealing North. By a providential coincidence, he was scheduled to come to a diabetes meeting in Greenford Baptist Church, which I was attending. I was specially invited back after the last...

Facebook reminded me of this blog from 4 years ago - http://www.drbriffa.com/2012/05/23/diabetics-appear-to-be-very-interested-in-low-carb-eating/ Note the DUK "expert"

I heard the Radio 4 interview & Trudi's appearance with the professor. There's an awful lot of ignorant prejudice out there. I've just checked up on the DUK website regarding their "position statement": Diabetes UK produced a position statement on low-carbohydrate diets for people with Type...

Thanks for the link - Trudi & the other LCHF team are making a tremendous point that the opponents do not acknowledge - the combination of research, real experience of authors & patients shows convincingly that LCHF actually works in practice for diabetes & weight control. The opposition claim...

The report is published: https://phcuk.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Healthy-Eating-Guidelines-Weight-Loss-Advice-For-The-United-Kingdom-Public-Health-Collaboration.pdf

Do we have to study all the scientific reports before w choose a diet?? I have studied many of the reports cited by Diabetes UK & found they do NOT support the conclusions. I was diagnosed type 2 in 2000; given the complex carb, low sugar, low fat diet, and assured that however well I complied...

My new T-shirt avatar. I played 4 sets yesterday - 0/6, 6/3, 4/6, 1/6 - the last being singles. That is a testimonial for the LCHF diet. 8 years ago I was crippled by the NHS/DUK high carb diet. Now after 8 years LCHF I have no diabetes symptoms.

Hi Bobby I was diagnosed T2 in 2000. I followed the high complex carb, low fat diet for 8 years. By then I was suffering a range of complications - crippling peripheral neuropathy, extreme tiredness, beginning of retinopathy & reduced kidney function. My leg muscles were so painful getting out...

How is the Public Health Collaboration going? My T-shirt arrived yesterday. I shall wear it for tennis yesterday & post the pic.

I've joined - received the T-shirt yesterday. I'll wear for tennis Saturday & post the pic.

They took a copy of the LCHF presentation I prepared for the Hounslow diabetes support group. "Very interesting."

Medinova are asking on facebook for volunteers to participate in a "clinical study" (aka drugs trial) to "fight against diabetes." As I am concerned to help diabetes patients by educating the health pros about the benefits of LCHF lifestyle against the HCLF diet promoted by DUK & NHS, I got in...

My d-I-l has been diagnosed with a lung condition for which steroids have been prescribed - about a month ago. Today she went to A&E with badly swollen feet & hands - they managed to get the wedding ring off but cut the engagement ring. The engagement was only 2 years ago. I have recommended...

Were they following the NHS/DUK high carb diet. I was, & suffered debilitating weakness & pain in my leg muscles. 8 years ago I was contemplating a wheel chair ... Then I found this forum & followed the low carb advice. Within 3 months I was free of pain & back on the tennis court - now at 77 I...

This needs all the support we can give.

I agree with all that has gone before - and would strongly recommend you see another doctor. BG readings of 26 are dangerously high - you should get urgent professional advice, Try 111 - you may be referred to hospital A&E. I've had bad pain from simvastatin & cannot take it. The pain went...

Yes - fats are good as they provide energy without metabolising to blood sugar - which all carbohydrates do. BUT - use good clean fresh fats - not what you buy in pastries & chip shops, nor in the margarine tubs. Olive oil, nuts, butter, avocados, lard, fat that comes with meat .... On...
