The NHS pushes a carbohydrate rich diet, yet to reverse diabetes current thinking is that you need a low carb diet. Research out this week has shown that low carb will cause a remission in some people who have had diabetes for 15 years when previously they thought it would only work for the newly diagnosed.

Professor Taylor has previously shown that losing significant amounts of weight — on soup and shake regimens of 800 calories a day — can trigger changes that strip fat from the liver and pancreas and restore blood sugar control. The principle behind low carb is that eating fewer carbs — less than 130g a day — can help blood sugar levels stabilise, so the body needs to produce less insulin and, in search of energy, the body is instead encouraged to burn fat.
Low carb doesn’t mean just cutting out the obvious sweet foods such as biscuits; it also rules out starchy foods including bread, potatoes, rice and root veg. This is because all such foods are broken down into sugar and can raise blood sugar levels significantly. Meanwhile, the foods recommended on a low-carb regimen, such as protein-rich meat and eggs, abundant quantities of green vegetables and full-fat dairy, can help you feel satiated.
