About Chris

Chris Barclay is a retired GP and medical writer. His special interest in diet and health began with a chance encounter; a patient told him how he had lost weight by cutting out carbohydrate foods. Chris has researched the subject ever since. He was principal investigator for the ISAIAH-Project, a diet trial in pre-diabetic patients. His conclusion: processed carbs, starchy foods and sugar are the problem; they are driving our Diabesity epidemic.

In his book, Beating Diabetes the low-carb way, Chris presents compelling and persuasive evidence and translates it into a practical and effective plan.

His next book, Reverse your Type-2 diabetes with the Low-carb approach, was written to accompany a four-part course for diabetic and pre-diabetic patients attending a local Medical centre. It is a why it works and how to do it book, reversing Type 2 diabetes in a nutshell.

More recently, he has collaborated with his daughter, a GP in North London, and written Reverse Your PMOS the Low-carb way, a book for women with Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, a form of diabetes of the ovary, if you will. Chris worked for many years in Sheffield, and more recently as a GP in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, UK.
