Paul Brennan reconnects with Dr Glen Davies of Reversal NZ to explore a recent initiative attempting to tackle type 2 diabetes in New Zealand. Dr Davies praises the move but raises concerns over the clarity and strength of dietary messaging. He passionately argues for a more direct, no-nonsense approach, labelling sugar a “poison” for those with diabetes and stressing that sustainable, individualised dietary changes are essential. Dr Davies champions low-carb, whole food diets—like keto or ketogenic variants—as the most effective path to reversing type 2 diabetes, highlighting personal experience with over 200 successful reversals. He critiques the outdated food pyramid and ultra-processed food industry for fuelling the diabetes epidemic and calls for a sharper, more impactful public health response.
