[QUOTE="pdmjoker, post: 2749687, member: 468524"] Note: the BBC article continues: === The charity Diabetes UK said: "Low-calorie diet programmes that include total meal replacement products and full support from a healthcare team have the strongest evidence for putting Type 2 diabetes in remission, but other approaches such as low-carb diets can also help some people lose weight and go into remission." === That's puzzling, since according to the [I]NHS Confederation[/I] website: Dr David Unwin is an award-winning GP known for pioneering the low-carb approach in the UK. He is the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) national champion for collaborative care and support planning in obesity and diabetes. He also won the NHS Innovator of the Year Award 2016 for his research into diet and lifestyle interventions. He has worked at Norwood Surgery in Southport since 1986 as a family doctor. To date, he has helped 141 patients achieve drug free, type 2 diabetes remission (achieving a remission rate of 51 per cent). [RIGHT] From [URL]https://www.nhsconfed.org/people/dr-david-unwin[/URL][/RIGHT] Does Low-calorie (with support) have a better than 51% success rate? [/QUOTE]
