[QUOTE="IanD, post: 2002076, member: 6186"] I was interviewed for the programme. I've been T2 diabetic for 20 years. I followed the DUK/NHS advice for 8 until the peripheral neuropathy I was diagnosed with became crippling with constant pain. In 2008 I joined this forum & saw the low carb advice - particularly from a T1. I gave up on all the obvious carbs & increased veg & fatty foods. In 3 months I was free from pain & playing tennis again. Over the past 11 years I have increased animal fats & more recently adopted a keto diet. (Ketones around 0.5-1) At 80 I am still playing tennis, running around the tennis court as I did years ago. A young relative is also on the keto diet for epilepsy. The researcher, Rebecca, would have included me - we had several conversations. They would have come to film me in Hereford if my relative's dietitian (who was on the programme) had approved. Her comment - "Don't go on the programme as people might think the keto diet is safe." I didn't fancy a 4-hour each way journey to London, so I wasn't included. Twenefour showed up as an ignorant & biased "expert" as when asked about keto for T2 diabetics he stated the danger of very low BG & resultant hypos. Therefore not recommended - warned against. Obvious it is effective - but needs control by testing. Any treatment should be accompanied by testing & medication adjustment. He should know that. I have had correspondence with Twenefour & others at DUK & challenged the "science" he claims that supports his views. The previous 2011 (?) "Position statement on low carb" included references that showed positive results for long term low carb - 44 months. The conclusions of these reports was ignored as was the fact that some of the control diet patients switched to low carb. I recommend reading the full report, so you also know the REJECTION of science practised by DUK.
