THP 022: The CSIRO low carb study for the management of type-2 diabetes with professor campbell thompson

Happiness can essentially be boiled down to three key things; Something to do, Someone to love, & Something to look forward to - Dr Gordon Livingston

Professor Campbell Thompson has 30 years of clinical research and practice in Australia and the United Kingdom. He is currently Senior Consultant in General Medicine practising at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre in South Australia.

Before becoming a General Medical practitioner, he spent many years specialising in renal medicine.

In this episode, we talk about a randomised controlled study through the CSIRO comparing Low Carbohydrate Diets vs High Carbohydrate Diets in the management of Type 2 Diabetes.
