Hello folks, I if want you can see an interview with Roy Taylor and Jason Fung at http://thediabetessummit.com/
Its only free for 24 hours, then you have to pay.

I registered and now I am listening to conversation between Roy Taylor and some other guy. This is really interesting. He is talking about how diabetes can be reversed, and he talks about why most doctors do not know about his research. fascinating!

Jason Fung, candian nephraologist, has a famous series on youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/drjasonfung/videos about diabetes and obesity.

He reverses type diabetes 2 in his patients using the principles of Roy Taylor scientific research, but here is what sets Jason Fung out. He uses fasting, not an strict 800 caloriediet, to achieve the same effect. Some of his patients do three 24 hours fasts a week, eating dinner 16.00 on thursday, and then dont eat until 16.00 in friday foreinstance, or an eating window like intermittent fasting, only eating between 12.00 and 20.00 forexample.

See them and spread the word.

It's such a great shame they can't even be bothered to get his title or qualifications right.

His qualifications are: BSc, MB ChB, MD, FRCP, FRCPE, not just the MD attributed to him on the diabetes summit intro page.

Hopefully my connection will be good enough to view the presentation.

Yeah, I agree, but I think many find the titles british doctors get are confusing, but they do show that Roy Taylor is a very capable person. But these kind of interviews are so extremely interesting, and it is so cool that a man of Roy Taylors stature are doing them. I am at 55.38 on the 1:01:49 long presantation, and he is talking about how his colleague were extremely sceptical of his research, but that they have turned around now, and now, to quote him, most of the leading diabetes researchers in the UK are belivers in Roy Taylors theory about diabetes, in the US however...

For me it is just incredible how little attention it has gotten. My father is a doctor back here in Norway, and no one of his colleagues have heard about the Newcastle study!
 

Few GPs in the UK are familiar with it either. I guess over the years there will have been so many claims of cure, reversal and the like (and we see the spamming on this website all too often), one can understand why medics are sceptical until they read empirical evidence. I mean, would you welcome the concept that bloods could be rendered normoglaycaemic within 7 days, just be starving a bit, then that result continued by just sticking with the starvation plan for a couple of months? Then there's the concept it's likely to stay that way, provided the subject doesn't regain their weight.....

We've all encountered people talking like that in bars, haven't we??

Similarly with LCHF? How can eating all that fat and cream result in weightloss, and even over the long term? How can eating all that fat and cream result in improved lipid scores? It's counterintuitive, to say the least. Our general doctors don't have the time to do the reading we have, when they have all those other so called epidemics to cope with on a day to day basis. I'm talking about things like hypertension, plain old obesity, depression, asthma, stress and back pain. What hope do they have?

We're making leaps and bounds in understanding these things, and I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed when I was, rather than 10 years ago. In a few more years, the landscape for the newly diagnosed T2 may be very, very different. I sincerely hope it is.
 

Everything you say is so true, but is kind of heartbreaking though, I have seen the webcast now, and Roy Taylor sounds a little bit disheartened sometimes during the webcast. Just hope people manage to see it, cool to see him interact with someone, not just give a lecture.
 
One of the statistics that totally amazed me was it takes an average of 17 years for ground-breaking medical research to become mainstream. Luckily I think the internet and patients determined to understand their own conditions is changing that. The days when HCPs can hide behind their "god" status and arcane knowledge are rapidly coming to a close.

I bought the digital version of the summit and am working my way through the interviews. Prof Taylor's was the first one I watched and it was worth it. Especially great that his research is ongoing - and as much as we might complain about Diabetes UK, they are funding it.
 
Hello, there. I am a US citizen diagnosed with type 2 last July. I have to admit the diagnosis overwhelmed me as a death sentence. My doctor told me I had diabetes, test 2 times a day (no directions when or what the numbers would me) and take this metformin and some stations for my cholesterol. I left in shock and did not eat for 2 days because I thought if I ate the wrong stuff I would die on the spot.

When I could finally think straight I started researching on the Internet and came across Roy Taylor, who saved my life....yes, I think I was that depressed cause I had no information from my doctor. I read all about the reversal, his clinical tests, and his scientific but understandable explanation of diabetes. I believed he knew what he is talking about and did that blasted 8 weeks of 600 calories a day and 1 cup of non-starchy veggies.

Simply put, it worked. My blood sugar dropped to normal, my triglycerides dropped to normal, my cholesterol dropped over 120 points to normal. The guy is brilliant and should be lauded everywhere. Nobel prize in medicine? Seriously, I have lost 100 pounds (dont know what that is in stones, but I can make a complete human with that fat) and sadly have another 100 to go. I am remembering he said to keep calorie intake down and dont gain back the weight. So I continue to try. I also talk about him to everybody who compliments me on the weight loss. I, of course, did not lose it all on his diet. My.point is to take that opportunity to talk about Roy Taylor as so many people in the U.S. have diabetes and are not told about alternatives to medicine. And I know Taylor knows what he is talking about because it worked for me. Now I accept if it comes back I'll take meds, but if I can prolong it as long as possible through diet and exercise I will.

I have wanted to thank Taylor for forever but it seems like he is not taking emails for this. I hope he is not sad or feeling hopeless about the epidemic or his research. I am thousands of miles away and because he posted everything he did online, I am one more life he changed and saved and he will probably never know about it. There are probably thousands more he has affected and he doesn't even know. So, thank you Roy Taylor from Chicago. In the last year, you've had more of an affect on my life from across an ocean than anyone who has stood within a few centimeters of me.
 

What a story, you did an incredible achievement there, and good luck for you that you found Roy Taylor, and even more important, that you managed that diet, thats no easy feat. I also spread the world about Roy Taylor, but many diabetics and doctors dont belive it, they find it to good to be true.

If you want to know more about weight loss and how to keep it of I recommend a blog by Stephan Guyenet, he is Phd neurobiologist, who studes obesity and its effect on the brain.

Read through the whole thing and comments,and every single post, you will understand so much about weight loss and keeping it off, and doing it sustainably.

There is also a Canadian doctor Jason Fung, that was inspired by Roy Taylors research, and he has a clinic which treats diabetes with fasting. With him you can both use low carb, or vegan and vegetarian, the key thing for him is a diet mostly consisting of unprocessed natural foods, and a flexible fasting regimen.

Here is his website, http://intensivedietarymanagement.com/

Here is two youtube videos, where people with Diabetes type 2 for tens years! get rid of their medications after some weeks with fasting. quite incredible
