Interview with professor someone, announcing low cal, liquid diet being rolled out on NHS. Brought one of his successful participants who exclaimed she had reversed her diabetes and her last test was 42. Yay.
who exclaimed she had reversed her diabetes and her last test was 42. Yay.
She started at 50, went to 48 then reversed at 42.Rather sad that his example must have gone through quite a palaver to get where she is, with Hba1c of 42, and I just breezed along down to the same number without any great effort other than hauling all those bags of meat, boxes of eggs etc. from the butcher
I think the phrase 'Lies, **** lies & statistics' needs an update. 'Lies, **** lies, statistics & thresholds'.She started at 50, went to 48 then reversed at 42.
I hovered in the Prediabetic area for about 3 years before finally going lchf.I fear that a lot might still be hovering in the pre-diabetes area...
You're missing the point (deliberately?).. ..to be "in remission" you shouldn't be pre-diabetic..I hovered in the Prediabetic area for about 3 years before finally going lchf.
No. You are missing the point. I was agreeing with you. I sat in the Prediabetic range for several years practising the Eatwell diet and only dropped clear of the Prediabetic range after going lchf.You're missing the point (deliberately?).. ..to be "in remission" you shouldn't be pre-diabetic..

Professor Roy Taylor is one of the pioneers of diabetic eye screening in the UK - a very inspirational person.professor someone
. . . . . cut fat, cut calories or cut carbs.
What Prof ???? (aka Roy Taylor) has done is to get mentioned in the GP journals and press that the GP's read to keep themselves up to date. GP's have a high workload so these NHS approved channels are a must if we are to have HCP's changing their attitudes to our care.Professor Roy Taylor is one of the pioneers of diabetic eye screening in the UK - a very inspirational person.

Regarding diet, his published research https://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/#publications is overturning the long-held view that type 2 diabetes progresses inexorably. The more this knowledge is disseminated, the more receptive the average GP will be to attempts to control diabetes by diet, such as low-carbing. On the Today programme, when talking about how to eat after the low-calorie phase, he said, "in our carbohydrate-driven environment, recognising that we take too much of that and modestly cutting back is also an easy gain" but emphasized that the exact way of eating depended on people's preferences. Advice from a well-respected diabetes researcher that it's advisable to reduce carbohydrate will carry far more weight with GPs than claims from patients about something that they read on the internet.
I keep hearing adverts on the radio for diet related material in the Daily Mail this week / month.Prof Taylor is all over the Daily Fail today with pages of recipes to get rid of diabetes. Haven't had time to read it all yet.
I also tried to find out how the 5 people in the control group put their T2 into remission too but again no answer
