Not too many CCGs write their own programmes, most buy licenses from organisations like of X-pert and DESMOND. Once a CCG chooses their provider, if the provider updates their content, such as might happen on X-pert, I'm not altogether clear what the CCGs do about adopting said new content.
One problem is that X-pert often does not control the staff who run the courses and if the CCG chooses a nurse with a "eatwell plate mindset", it can totally undermine any lowcarb message X-pert try to include.
Dr Trudy Deakin started X pert (it is a charity running diabetes education courses and has some contracts across the country and also sells training to be able to run franchised courses). She has spoken at Low Carb events but her courses do try to honestly discuss the options such as low fat presumably because they need to be 'balanced' to win NHS contracts.I read it all (except for the references) and can only see positive statements about Low and Very Low Carb ways Of Eating.
I'm unsure how influential X-Pert is, but this would still seem like a huge step in the right direction.
It mentions Low Carb for treatment of Pre-Diabetes, of Hypertension and of Obesity.
