Sad news today - Michael Mosley was found dead after he went missing last week on a Greek Island.
My thoughts are with his family and friends

Michael Mosley wrote books such as "The Blood Sugar Diet" and he was a TV presenter.
Five years ago, I read this book which explained that Intermittent Fasting (IF) can lead to sustainable weight loss.
His arguments made sense to me and motivated me to Iose weight on the 5+2 diet, which he propagated.
This allowed me to reduce my HbA1c into the 40s and I was able to get off Metformin and am controlling my T2 by diet only.
I then joined this forum, and learned that reducing carbs when dieting is what reduces blood sugars.
 
Oh my goodness!

Absolutely one of my 'Diabetes Matters' heroes. I am so sorry he has gone.

Just saw it on the morning news. Very very sad.
