[QUOTE="Southport GP, post: 730501, member: 74036"] I think its fair to say DUK remain nervous about low-carbing -but at least there is more talk of respecting patient choice and working with it. My hope is that blogs like these are gradually democratizing medicine so at least folk can find out what their choices are. I worry that a lot of health care professionals are not aware of low carb as a valid choice which is why I try and publicize my research via open access as much as I can. Another concern is that its possible patients end up on medication before lifestyle modifications like diet have been given a proper trial. Its my experience that given a choice patients usually opt to try weight loss rather than going on lifelong medication in T2DM and do surprisingly well. Its this that will be given an airing in my next publication. My current work centers around Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) which is closely related to the metabolic syndrome and T2DM. Big Pharma have nothing to offer for this, and as it affects 20% of the western world finding a remedy is important. Currently my research is under wraps as it has gone out to peer review. I must wait -fingers crossed to hear what the experts make of it. If it turns out that low carb is really effective for this condition imagine the boost that could given to the approach. can I say again how much I have appreciated the support of all you low carb bloggers [/QUOTE]
