    Mastering diabetes

    Irrespective of their claims, it is known (and I Cannot find the reference now, sorry) that carbs-based healthy diets are ok for those without hyperinsulenimia. As fasting insulin levels are not mentioned by them AND not known by most of the population, any good insights they can offer are...

    low carb, high fat

    Atrial fibrillation seems to be caused by a lack of potassium according to many sources including Stephen Phinney. It was one of the reasons someversions of keto diets got bad press in the 70's and is a real risk and can cause death. A moderate protein carnivore dieter needs to be aware of this...

    I think you're right on the charm and character bit. I'll be writing everything down for use next time to leave with him for a response -I'm not good with getting things down though. I'm better 1:1 although not in this circumstance. Most people love him but I think he's a bit like Marmite...

    Where to get HOMA-IR & c-peptide test in UK

    He works extremely fast and always has. Gets in early and starts his clinic sometimes an hour early as it is a specialist clinic and and only runs between 8.30 and 12pm on Fridays. He's very good at making you make the choice on treatment offered and disarming (manipulating) one out the door...
