More info Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition characterised by poor insulin production. The primary role of insulin is to regulate blood sugar - the main type of sugar found in blood. Stripped of this mechanism, blood sugar levels keep rising if alternative measures are not taken to control them. The result is a cascade of problems, such as nerve damage. Fortunately, there is an effective remedy on hand.

Ms Truss and her rival Rishi Sunak are under pressure to outline how they would support people with rising bills. When asked what she would do, Ms Truss said cutting taxes would let people "keep more of their own money". The worsening UK economy has been central to the Tory leadership campaign. Ms Truss and Mr Sunak, who are competing to be the next British prime minister, have clashed over their rival plans to deal with the economic fallout of skyrocketing energy prices. The Bank of England has predicted inflation - how fast prices are rising - will hit 13% and the UK will plunge into a recession later … [Read more...] about Tory leadership: Liz Truss still favours tax cuts to ease economic crisis

In Seillans, southeast France, the stream is dry, a fountain near the town hall no longer flows and the ground is parched. The village, like much of France, is in the grip of the country's worst-ever drought. "I've lived here for 17 years, and I've never seen this," says the chief of police, Phillipe Grenêche. "Since April, not a drop of water... it's sad." One of the village's boreholes has virtually dried up, so Phillipe is taking us to see the emergency supplies many residents now rely on. On the rocky hillside, a white truck pulls up and the driver, Daniel, begins to pump water into the system. Advertisement He repeats the trip eight times a day, so the taps don't run dry. To make supplies stretch, people are limited to 200 litres a day.

There was a time when nutritional advice amounted to eating three meals a day, five portions of fruit and veg and remaining sober until 5pm. These days, however, no one seems to know what, why or when they should be eating. If one study says a slice of bacon will shorten your life by 10 years, the next will say that vegans are at risk of dementia. ‘Clean eating’ (in a nutshell, eating food as close to its natural state as possible, cutting back on chemical ingredients and sugar) has been rebuffed by some but it does logically seem to be the healthiest option – if you ignore all food shaming that goes along with it, as well as the pseudo crap about charcoal-infused lattes, raw-til-4 plans and coconut sugar-over-cane-sugared treats. Paleo, FODMAP, raw, Keto.  Are any of them useful? Do any of them hold the key to eternal health, happiness and youth? It’s almost like the online nutrition community is full of charlatans who have very few qualifications in the field yet … [Read more...] about If you’re sick of all the pseudoscience, follow #Nutribollocks on Twitter
