I've just spoken to Careline at DUK - the first person asked if I meant DAFNE - he'd never hear of X-PERT. I then spoke to a lady who could only give the standard advice. I strongly recommended her to look up the Mail-on-line interview. And I've written to Balance,

I note that the originator of the course,Dr Trudi Deakin, has adopted the low carb, high fat lifestyle & is now recommending diabetics & others of the health benefits.

This link gives the details:

Dr Deakin was interviewed for the Daily Mail & that interview can be read here:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...carbs-fuelling-obesity-diabetes-epidemic.html

I strongly recommend that you interview Dr Deakin for Balance on the question of diet.

I have been diabetic - T2 - for 14 years. I followed the standard Duk/NHS diet for 8 years until complications set in - crippling peripheral neuropathy, extreme tiredness & beginning of retinopathy. Seven years ago, I cut the obvious carbs out of my diet. Within 3 months I was fit & well. Seven years on, at nearly 76, I am still in excellent health - playing tennis & table tennis at club standard, whereas 7 years ago it was painful to get out of bed.

I have written to Balance on a number of occasions, without positive response. I have looked up the Duk data on T2 diet & low carb, & the quoted references. It seems the main concern is that data on the safety of long term low carb, high fat is not available. Balance said that in the July-August issue 2003, & in the Low Carb data sheet, 2011.

When will you consider seriously those of us who have benefited from LCHF over many years? 8 years on your diet proved that diabetes was progressive. LCHF reversed that progression.

I am attaching scans of an 2008 article featuring Fergus Craig from whom I learned the benefits of a LCHF diet.

Regards,

Ian Day

I've just had a reply from Balance forwarding my suggestion of interviewing Trudi to the editors AND my email to their research team.

Wonder if any of them read the Daily Mail? It's true!!! I read it in the Mail!!!
