#56 Dr David Unwin - Beating Type 2 Diabetes With A Low Carb Diet
Manage episode 318440783 series 2483543
Dr David Unwin FRCGP works at the Norwood NHS Surgery in Southport near Liverpool, UK where he has cared for the same population since 1986 as a family doctor. To date 105/206 of his patients with T2 diabetes have achieved drug-free remission. This gives a remission rate of 50% at 30 months duration of a lower carb diet, one of the best results for any clinic in the world!
I had the pleasure of meeting David at the IHCAN Summit in 2021 where he blew me away with his impressive results in not only type 2 diabetes but also weight loss and blood pressure. In this fascinating conversation, we discuss:
Low carb diets in reversing type 2 diabetes
Benefits of low carb for cholesterol and triglycerides
Low carb diets for weight loss
- Addictive properties of wheat and dairy
For the past few years, David has been a UK Royal College of General Practitioners expert clinical advisor on diabetes. As a result of his interests in both better communication with patients and type 2 diabetes he was made Royal College of General Practice National Champion for Collaborative Care and Support Planning in Obesity & Diabetes in 2015.
