Low carb gets silent treatment
 

An Australian doctor has been silenced for advocating the benefits of a low-carb diet. “If this sounds like a horror story, it is,” said Dr Gary Fettke, who has been reported for, incredibly, highlighting how a low-carb diet can help people with diabetes. A petition has been launched to stop the gag order against Dr Fettke.

Artificial pancreas boost
 

An artificial pancreas could help people with type 2 diabetes get better blood sugar levels during hospital admissions. Cambridge researchers found that the device outperformed standard injections among hospitalised insulin-treated patients.

“I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes six years ago, and following a recent six-monthly check my levels were off the scale. Coincidentally my wife spotted an advertisement for the Low Carb Program. Realising the immediate and direct effect of reducing carbohydrates on blood glucose levels was a definite eureka moment! In 10 weeks I’ve lost 18lbs/8kg and three inches around my waist, and my average blood glucose levels have gone from 10-12 mmol/ to below 7.”
