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
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.
