[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2476365, member: 365308"] Well done on the fact tht you have realised early on that the NHS is stuck in a paradigm where obesity is believed to cause type 2. Jason Fung (his book is a great explanation of diabetes and how the drugs don't work but a low carb or fasting approach does) and many others believe obesity is merely a symptom and that a little visceral fat in otherwise normal bmi people can cause diabetes. Meanwhile there are very fat people who churn out massive amounts of insulin or don't store fat around their organs and so don't become diabetic. In the UK I like this GP practice who have also developed an pp: [URL]https://lowcarbfreshwell.co.uk/[/URL] Dr Joanne McCormack runs courses but you can see her tips on this site [URL]http://www.fatismyfriend.co.uk/category/how-to-change-your-eating-in-8-weeks/[/URL] I am also just reading a book by Dr David Cavan (fwd by Dr Unwin) called Busting the Diabetes Myth which is written by a diabetes consultant who DID get the memo about eating low carb. I am sorry that these are not part of the NICE recommended pathways though their guidance does allow a flexible approach and even DUK concede that a low carb diet is possible (that's big of them!! though they tend to promote their own research (the 800kcal Newcastle diet). Things are slowly changing and DUK are doing research into Diabetes remission for TOFIs like you (Thin Outside Fat Inside) via Prof Taylor who established the paradigm that type 2 is reversible.
