A thread about the low carb approach to managing T2D & obesity

I'm an NHS GP and I'm keen to share this with other GPs, nurses & dietitians because this approach really works

It's MUCH more effective than our previous approaches

I wish we'd worked it out years ago

At my surgery, we have many patients who are turning their lives around simply by cutting out sugar, processed food and starchy carbs.

We're seeing several success stories every week.

Our team is fired up by this approach

Fantastic to see the nurses enjoying their work,
feeling like they're making a difference to their patients' lives

This is one of our nurses yesterday, justifiably proud of her work having helped a patient to achieve T2 remission

So to GPs, nurses, dietitians,

If you're not already using a low carb approach for your patients with

T2D
obesity
hypertension

(we've also noticed it's good for IBS, sleep apnoea & migraine)

I can highly recommend giving it a try.
