My hero has to be Professor Roy Taylor of Newcastle University, he was the man who discovered the benefits of the Newcastle diet, which has given my poor tired out old pancreas a new lease of life.

My Low Carb Heros:

1. Richard K Bernstein: deserves a Nobel Prize for services to diabetics
2. Robert Atkins - stood his ground against the lipid hypothesis despite professional and political ridicule
3. Gary Taubes - wrote the books that demolished the lipid hypothesis and allowed the conversation to move on
4. Jeff Volek and Steve Phinney - tireless researchers into low-carb and ketogenic diets. Volek proved that "fat in your mouth doesn't equal fat in your blood".
5. Jimmy Moore - pulls the whole low-carb and Paleo community together with his fantastic podcasts
6. Richard Feinman - another tireless voice against the flawed lipid hypothesis
7. Jay Wortman - for exposing the supidity of "low-carb/low-fat/low-protein" on these very pages.

I also love these guys from the Paleo community:

1. Kurt Harris
2. Robb Wolf
3. Paul Jaminet
4. Mark Sissons

Does anyone else have a diabetic hero they feel has helped them in any way? It's really interesting to read different people's hero's and why.
