#OriginalResarch In individuals with #diabetes, obesity (BMI, waist circumference, fat mass) were associated with increased risk of HF. No association of obesity and HF in those without diabetes. @totocarbone @kershawpatel @mattsegar @PowellWileyLab ow.ly/nxnz50H7tBN

@MEJLean has joined me to play tonights tune-in-the-fireplace. According to the piece of paper, @scottishfiddler taught us this on 22/9/99 (we have tried (hard) to play it as written). We think it's by Tommy People, but we cant find its name...

Not everyone's interested in a diet that's consistently associated with higher mortality. Granted, correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, but if low carb diets aren't even correlated/associated with lower mortality, then it's unclear how they could cause lower mortality

The myth of 'metabolic surgery' for type 2 diabetes has finally been busted. Weight loss is the key. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

The Counterweight/DiRECT diet gets substantial weight losses & remissions of diabetes2, and reduces healthcare costs. link.springer.com/article/10…

Trump & Boris Johnson both obese, but promote cheap fast food. #obesity causes bad outcomes with infections eg #COVID19, many disabilities & #depression, esp when #diabetes develops. Support young people who don’t want obesity to take charge. Here is how: shorturl.at/jBFIU

Turning the tables on #obesity: young people, IT and social movements. A radical multi-national solution, linking #Wellbeing and #EnvironmentalJustice to prevent unwanted weight gain, based on evidence & inspired by JM Barrie & @GretaThunberg. Avail here: shorturl.at/chkxN

Today I have enlisted some help to play a strathspey, and decided to play it outside, amongst the flowers. Here is 'The Flower Man' by Jenny Smith. I am joined by the flower man himself, my dad ( @MEJLean). #COVIDCeilidh

I once taught this tune to a young local guy I met on a mountain in Pakistan, playing it on his rehab. Sounds like it could do with ginger

Back to the fireplace tonight as I start on reels with a 'Trip to Pakistan' by Niall Kenny. I learnt it from @fraserfifield ( @oldblinddogs album: Five). Lots of fun tunes on that album! #COVIDCeilidh

*New!* Strong evidence for shifting #NHS resources, now, to offer remissions of Type 2 Diabetes cost-effectively with DiRECT/Counterweight-Plus weight management. Total NHS #diabetes care costs less if it is provided, & Quality-Adjusted Life Years increase bit.ly/31hb2bz
