Wow! I just looked it up and according to Diabetes.co.uk there are currently 3.5 million diagnosed diabetics in the UK. That means that approximately 1 in 10 people in the UK who know they have diabetes have ALREADY registered for the low-carb program. That is huge! And, as that 10% starts seeing the results, low-carb is ought to spread among UK T2 diabetics like wild fire.

Will be very very hard for doctors in other countries - even the U.S. - to ignore it if the UK solves its diabetes epidemic via a simple dietary change. And, even if big pharma has a vested interest in people staying sick and on medications, I do think most doctors do want to see their patients get healthier. And insurance companies for sure don't want to pay for expensive medications for their insureds if they can avoid it! So, I can imagine insurance companies starting to refuse to pay for insulin for T2 diabetics who have NOT, or will not, give low-carb a reasonable try.

Yes, we are witnessing the "tipping point."
