“Diabetes Australia states: ‘For people with type 2 diabetes, there is reliable evidence that lower carb eating can be safe and useful in lowering average blood glucose levels in the short term (up to 6 months). It can also help reduce body weight and help manage heart disease risk factors such as raised cholesterol and raised blood pressure.’(4)”

 Australia’s Type 2 Diabetes catastrophe, exposed

The disease sweeping inland Australia is not infectious, but it is devastating — and it’s pushing hospitals to the brink of collapse. Medicos warn: ‘This is the real pandemic.’ The national diabetes epidemic is pushing hospitals to the brink of collapse, with up to a third of ­patients in urban centres affected by the condition and kidney di­alysis clinics at absolute capacity in Central Australia, where four out of 10 Aboriginal people have the chronic disease. Devastating accounts from patients and doctors have revealed a vast tide of human suffering as overloaded hospitals struggle to cope with continual admissions – and many thousands of patients vying to access preventative care.

Type 2 diabetes remission: Hype, hope or happening?

Research has shown that it is possible for some people living with type 2 diabetes to reduce their average glucose level and sustain that reduction for a prolonged period of time (at least three months) without the need for glucose lowering medication. This is known as type 2 diabetes ‘remission’. While remission is not possible or appropriate for everyone living with type 2 diabetes, it offers hope for many and there are a growing number of Australians who have achieved remission.
