Success stories of reversing type 2 Diabetes following LCHF approach
Unwin is an honest-to-goodness hero. Nice that he's getting some exposure in mainstream media.
Just a pity that they feel compelled to post that stupid video from Diabetes UK (that is, diabetes.org.uk) who "hope one day to find a cure" and aren't interested in anything Dr Unwin has to say.
My husband has reversed his with LC now. Discharged from the clinic but they didn’t want to know how he did it.
>> they didn’t want to know how he did it.
Doesn't surprise me in the least. I get the impression that the NHS (as an organisation) is making a token effort to support Unwin, but only because he's being too successful to be ignored. Down on the ground, there must be a whole bunch of diabetic "experts" who are royally tee'd off that their advice is being contradicted, and are just carrying on regardless.
I bet there are, but surely something has to change soon with so much evidence now. I think it’s scary the same dietary advice is given to people when the evidence of success points in another direction.
Was it Warren Buffett who said that "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent"?
I think the same sort of thing applies to medicine. Doctors can stay irrational longer than the patient can stay alive 
bloody hell might even make it to The Sun and The Mirror next!
I would love to see that! According to Health Survey for England (HSE): in 2017
Majority ( 64 % ) of adults ( > 16 years) in England were either overweight or obese
Men : 67% overweight or obese
Women: 62 % overweight or obese.
It is high time dietary changes take place.
I wonder if NICE will "extend" their helpful advice for diabetics to include everyone? Of course it would take a big step to explain that insulin affects us all - I freely admit pre-lchf I'd have assumed it was a "diabetic thing" !
In other words it would be nice if people didn't get T2D in the first place
The words "horse" and "stable door" spring to mind ...
But step by little step awareness is creeping up..... must think positive!
True. The polarization between the "believers" and the "heretics" is getting wider, and I reckon that's a sure sign that the squishy stuff is going to hit the rotating impeller quite soon. The next few years are going to be interesting.
Got to get "mainstream" stuff going to avoid the "fad diet" label .... roll on more pressure via the press
Won't help people in USA but hey there are so many millions of people and so much money at stake there I wonder how anything will turn the oiltanker round....
Wonder when someone will point out NICE guidelines vs NHS advice?
I have definitely seen an improvement in my blood pressure as mentioned in the article.
I lost 6 stone on an lchf diet and I am no longer classed as Diabetic 2, I am no longer on meds. My blood sugar was 19 a few years ago this Wednesday it was 5.2! This happened purely by not eating any processed food and of course avoiding sugar in all its forms. I gained the knowledge by research on the internet not from the doctors! So the doctor said I am thinking of putting you on insulin injections which prompted me to do the research. I am almost 72 now and feeling great but I get annoyed that the information out there is so wrong, and so many doctors don't have the knowledge, or the time, to guide people to better health.

CONGRATULATIONS! That is a remarkable achievement!
Yes, you are right - there are many Doctors who are just acting more like a computer. As soon as peak blood sugar level goes over 11.1 or fasting over 7 they prescribe Metformin. If the level goes much higher as in your case, we are put on insulin.
Diet and lifestyle should be the primary focus to resolve T2D and then medications, if required.
Praveen: I'm struck by the fact that you've had a good response to this post over here, and a big ball of tumbleweed over in the diabetes group.
After hanging around in that group for a couple of years, I've come to the conclusion that there is a large psychological component to chronic diabetes type 2.
