The lobbyists and central government will never take this advice on. The NHS will never change unless it is free from political control. Too many vested interests in our hierarchy.

Find the Official Guidelines for diabetics in Sweden and post it to them, they may/may not print it but it's worth a try. However I don't think the article that Julifriend has posted would be enough to convince them that Sweden has gone LCHF.

This is what the researcher's who compiled the report wrote after this sort of publicity.
.From:
Måns Rosén, head SBU. Kjell Asplund , chairman of the SBU's scientific advisory board. Jonas Lindblom, project manager for the SBU report " Food in obesity ." Nina Rehnquist , chairman of the SBU board.
(ttranslation from google translate
(the) SBU report " Food in obesity " attracted huge media attention and was over interpreted by some . We would like to clarify the report's message and correct some interpretations (for which ) there is not evidence .
http://www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/article17631151.ab unless you read Swedish you'll have to put it in google translate
And here is the official translation of the report in English http://www.sbu.se/upload/Publikationer/Content1/1/Diets_among_obese_individuals.pdf
These are the main conclusions. You can read them or the full report to see if you agree with the interpretation given by the Health Impact News link,
Weight loss in adults. A range of advice on alteration of eating and drinking habits can result in obese individuals losing weight or reducing their waist size. In the short term (six months), advice on strict or moderate low carbohydrate diets is a more effective means of achieving weight loss than advice on low fat diets. In the long term, there are no differences in the effect on weight loss between advice on strict and moderate low carbohydrate diets, low fat diets, high protein diets, Mediterranean diets, diets aimed at achieving a low glycaemic load or diets containing a high percentage of monounsaturated fats. Advice on increasing the intake of dairy products (primarily milk) or reducing the intake of sweet drinks may also lead to weight loss.
Maintaining reduced weight. When obese individuals have lost weight, they can maintain their weight more effectively with advice on low fat diets with a low
glycaemic index and/or high protein content rather than low fat diets with a high glycaemic index and/or low protein content. There is no data available to assess whether advice on low carbohydrate diets and Mediterranean diets, for example, is effective to prevent weight increase after weight loss.
Onset of cardiovascular disease or death caused by cardiovascular disease. For obese individuals, intensive advice on Mediterranean diets (with extra olive oil or nuts and almonds) leads to a reduced risk of onset of cardiovascular disease or death caused by cardiovascular disease, compared with advice on low fat diets. People who drink a lot of coffee also have a lower mortality rate, regardless of cause.
Onset of type 2 diabetes. Obese individuals run a greatly increased risk of diabetes.The risk of falling ill with diabetes is lower among people who drink alcohol and people who drink a lot of coffee, while it is higher among people who drink sweet drinks. However, advice on low fat diets does not lead to a reduced risk of falling ill with diabetes compared with advice on diets with a standard fat content among obese post-menopausal women.
Knowledge gaps. It is not possible to assess whether other types of diet or drink are of significance to morbidity or mortality among obese individuals. There is insufficient scientific data. There is likewise insufficient data to assess the effect of the foods studied – fruit, vegetables, wholemeal products, legumes, potatoes, soya products, meat and processed meats – on mortality, morbidity or weight loss among obese individuals.
For most foods, they report that there is inadequate evidence of either benefit or harm .Coffee , alcohol and seem to come out well as does dairy but only within the context of an energy reduced diet.(is this where the spin came from?)

Thanks. Sadly any change within the UK will be extremely slow due to the number of vested interests including the food lobby, big pharma and the many HCPs and Dieticians who have spent many years training and practising with the wrong facts
