Drug-free T2 Diabetes Remission:
How can we see this more often?

Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes shortens life expectancy by about a third via cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and cancer. The good news is in our UK NHS practice we have seen improved nutrition bring about drug-free T2 diabetes remission 151 times! Exciting work that has been replicated by doctors, nurses, dieticians, nutritionists and health coaches across the UK and as far away as New Zealand and New York! Find out for yourself the nuts and bolts of how we both initiate change and then maintain it.

Rethinking Insulin Management in Type 1 Diabetes: Optimizing Insulin for a Calmer, Safer, and Longer Life.

Insulin needs in type 1 diabetes are influenced by multiple factors, including diet, activity, and overall metabolic health. A ketogenic diet appears to support optimal blood sugar levels for muscles, the brain, and the heart, while also promoting lower insulin requirements and stabilising blood glocuse on near normal levels. However, concerns about potential risks must be critically examined, as they does not seem to be based on available evidence. Maintaining steady blood glucose and optimizing insulin levels may be key to reducing insulin resistance and preventing the long-term damage associated with metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome, what is dangerous about it and what you can do about it yourself!

I have been researching metabolic syndrome for almost 30 years. I work with it clinically, I take care of diabetes, bad blood fats and high blood pressure in combination with obesity. I thought I would tell you about my scientific and clinical experiences and studies in the field and also present my new book which is about how so much advice you get is wrong, and only creates anxiety:
"Lighten the load on your shoulders!"

How ultra-processed, carbohydrate-dense foods drive insulin resistance

In this presentation, Prof. Dankel will elucidate key problems with ultra-processed foods, with emphasis on foods from highly refined carbohydrates that, often combined with processed oils and additives, alter hormonal balances and take on addiction-like properties. Diets based on such foods may largely explain the current epidemic of insulin resistance and metabolic disorders. He will also present his own research findings from randomized controlled trials, highlighting how diets rich in meat and butter can improve insulin resistance when carbohydrate intake is low.

What is food addiction and what can we do about it?

The talk will cover the definition and recognition of food addiction, how prevalent it is in various conditions. Then I will describe the causes and possible remedies for this complex condition, including tips for clinicians.

Insulin resistance syndrome affects 1 in 2 adults. Are you one of them?

More and more Norwegians are affected by type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, overweight and obesity. These conditions are closely linked and are often referred to as metabolic syndrome. The basis of metabolic syndrome is insulin resistance and it is easier to understand the syndrome if we call it insulin resistance syndrome. And with insulin resistance, the risk of a number of other diseases increases. Is there anything we can do to avoid developing insulin resistance? And is there anything we can do to reverse insulin resistance?

The Brain Starves in a Sea of ​​Sugar - Could the Ketogenic Diet Be the Answer?

The brain needs stable energy for optimal function, but high insulin levels and fluctuating blood sugar levels can create energy deficits—even in a body full of glucose. This can contribute to mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and dementia. In people with type 1 diabetes, poorly regulated insulin and glucose can compound these challenges. Could ketones be a more stable, brain-friendly fuel that can support mental health?
