The two articles are written by the same journalist. The first was an opinion piece describing his personal story of reversing his diabetes, this follow-up article discusses the issue at a national level.

In this one he writes about Dr Glen Davies of Taupo who is part of the PreKure faculty, and was recently featured on the PreKure podcast (episode called "New Zealand's Ketotown"). And then of course the biggest names on either side of the debate in this country, Prof Jim Mann and Prof Grant Schofield.

As far as I know, he's begun writing about this entirely of his own accord, but I've made sure that certain people are aware of it and they're certainly promoting it through their channels now as well.

It's also pretty heartening to read through the comments section of both articles and see the extent of support that low carb seems to have amongst the informed public. There's still a good deal of resistance to low carb at the very top over here, but it does seem like more and more people at the bottom are starting to figure things out for themselves, which can only be a good thing.
