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

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)
