Reversing Type2 Diabetes with keto (NZ).

Science & community-driven change - T2D remission

Dr Davies was interviewed by Jodie R Bruning (88 minutes)

Published by: Physicians & Scientists for Global Responsibility - 27 Jan 2023

In 2021 Dr Davies was awarded New Zealand, General Practitioner of the Year, at the New Zealand Primary Healthcare Awards for his work in this field.

This fascinating discussion looks at the drivers that led to Glen’s shift in professional focus. This includes a key patient urging that Glen looked into keto, which then led to Glen researching the scientific evidence, and the experiences of other doctors. Glen’s shift to focussing on reversing T2 diabetes with ketogenic dietary protocols, has been rapid.

It's not just Glen - community groups meet to discuss their own dietary transition, and patients are supported by health coaches. This talk will appeal to GPs and non-GPs alike and is heavily referenced. Dr Davies success has arisen from a multi-pronged approach, supporting the individual, helping them understand the science, and understanding that change happens differently for all patients/clients. The community working/information groups have been a major force for change.

The Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Taupō (RT2DT) group works to support community-driven lifestyle and dietary change to nourishing whole unprocessed foods and natural fats; and away from refined/processed carbohydrates, industrial seed oils and sugar.
