This was posted on another thread & is very interesting about fat.

A lot of us on LcHf are finding this is not quite true.... Our total cholesterol often does rise, but much more importantly it is our good cholesterol HDL that rises and this gives us a much improved ratio and trigs which is now regarded much more import than overall cholesterol levels.The LCHF diet for diabetics does not mean "Adkins" Diet (thank goodness). Fat in the diet does not cause high cholesterol, carbs do.
Thanks for that. I look forward to a good read later on.Hi All - please click onto the link to see the presentation that I delivered to dietitians at the Diabetes UK Conference last week. Best wishes, Trudi http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/Portals/0/Downloads/High fat, low carb diets and the evidence_Diabetes UK 2015_reduced memory.pdf
It is hard to get the local NHS clinicians to even consider Trudi's presentation....
Some GP Practices will only allow posters or leaflets from DUK so until the larger advisory companies and the likes of IDDT etc start to listen it is going to be an uphill struggle for Trudi.
Doesn't matter what Trudi or Dr Unwins' etc have researched or presented unless Diabetes.org .uk and others start to listen then Trudi (and us) are going to find the same old carb, carb, carb advice is given.
So what can we do to help? Can we start an e petition? How can we help Trudi to help us and others? Can we petition DUK? How do we shout loud enough so that we are heard?
Hi zand and others -- just wanted to reassure you that a number of us are lobbying DUK in different ways. Getting DUK to change its dietary message is the diabetic holy grail, and we must all keep at it..So what can we do to help? Can we start an e petition? How can we help Trudi to help us and others? Can we petition DUK? How do we shout loud enough so that we are heard?
My DN yesterday said to me (unofficially of course) that she thought the Eatwell Plate (and much else of Government and charity-backed material) was bonkers for diabetics. Would you give a Snickers bar to someone with a nut allergy etc.
I've offered to do a presentation to my practice on my story. If we all did that then it adds to the drip-feed and maybe some GPs might start making representations to NICE etc. Even if only those members of NICE not in hock to BigPharma took notice ...

Confused? Has the X-PERT Programme become low carb? X-PERT Health is a charity with a mission to provide accurate and up-to-date information for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Version 12.1 of the manual (Sept 2014) acknowledges the latest evidence for a very low carb/high fat lifestyle, it doesn’t prescribe it. The X-PERT Programme is based on the empowerment approach with informed decisions. If patients wish to adopt a low carb/high fat lifestyle, it is another option for them to lose weight and improve glycaemic control. Thus, the X-PERT Diabetes Programme continues the same but with less emphasis on low fat and supporting participants with trying different dietary approaches.
I propose to start a petition to DUK as suggested.
Petitions to the government have been dismissed by "experts"
