Award winning program!
 

This week we are celebrating as the Low Carb Program has won an award! The program won an award for Positive Social Impact at the Lloyds Bank National Business Awards 2016!

We want to give a huge thank you and congratulations to all 160,000 members of the program. Their achievements have shown that type 2 diabetes is not a progressive, chronic disease, and that by making low-carb, sustainable changes, people can lose weight and improve their health. On average, over six months, the members of the program reduced their HbA1c by 12mmol/mol and lost 10kg of body weight! If you haven't signed up yet, why not join these amazing people? Try it now, it's free!

African diabetes rate rises
 

Although often thought to be a Western disease, diabetes rates are rising rapidly in Africa, according to a report released by the Institute For Health Metrics and Evaluation. Growing reliance on processed foods has been noted as a large factor in this.

 
Prevalence is growing
Type 2 insulin stigma
 

A new study has found that there is a significant emotional toll on people who use insulin to treat type 2 diabetes. It can cause anxiety, and even shame. This can influence diabetes management and put people at long term health risks.

 
Insulin shame?
A new way to inject insulin?
 

One student from Wisconsin-Madison University was so frustrated with being unable to easily inject at certain sites that he invented a whole new device that could change the way that lean people inject their insulin.

What we're eating

Age: 67
 

"I used to eat an awful lot of carbs; my typical lunch would be soup and two or three chunky slices of bread. I decided in November last year that I wanted to take control and, after doing some research, I found the Low Carb Program. My HbA1c dropped from 68mmol/mol in November last year to 49mmol/mol in February this year. I also lost 21lbs/9.4kilos over six months, and my blood pressure has also improved!"
