It& #39;s simply about cutting out the sugar + starchy carbs (cereals, bread, pasta, rice + potatoes)

5/7 When I visited today, Bill walked into the room unaided!
Since changing his diet to #LCHF he:
- Feels he& #39;s now in control of his health
- Is really proud of his achievement
- Is less anxious about having another stroke
- 13kg weight loss means is can be so much more active

6/7 What did it cost the #NHS to reverse Bill& #39;s type 2 diabetes? Not much!
£35 for 1 glucose sensor
6 x 10min appointments with a GP (me)
Diabetes costs the NHS £10billion every year !!!
This must be the most cost-effective intervention in medicine?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">
