[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2323884, member: 196898"] Interesting link, It does seem to be mainly Low Carb, but funnily enough, the science they reference is the Newcastle Diet which is CICO based. It is not the only NHS Low Carb referral since Dr. Unwin's diet was also approved by NICE, but recently NICE has withdrawn their support for his plan. This site is 'commercial' but it is low key which is refreshing. And useful to some who are new to diabetes. However I did feel that there was an overriding emphasis on it being a weight loss diet, and the diabetes connection goes into the background via the Rod Taylor message and is also linked to the weight-loss mantra. This may be the key to getting NHS support. The need for HCP support is implied in the finale where they point out that NHS referred people lost more weight than those going 'private' but there was no support or mention of possibly needing medication changes during the diet plan - again showing it as being marketed for weight loss not diabetes control. Its a helpful start. Edit to add: I believe that the Low Carb Diet course (LCHF) run by this very site (DCUK) is also approved for referral through the NHS [/QUOTE]
