This Week's Pulse

Dr. David Unwin appeared on The Diary Of A CEO on May 18, 2026, to challenge conventional medical wisdom regarding type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.

Reflecting on his decades-long clinical career, Dr. David Unwin admitted to Steven Bartlett that his early practice was defined by rigid adherence to standard protocols, noting, "For the first 25 years, I was trying to do what's in the guidelines. I was trying to be a good doctor. But what I noticed, I noticed two things."

The conversation shifted toward practical applications of his research, with Steven Bartlett highlighting the doctor's visual demonstrations of sugar content. Bartlett emphasized the utility of the data, stating, "Okay. So now I'm gonna give you the correct figure. Now, uh, this is worked out from the glycemic load that we already discussed."

Expect this appearance to spark further debate among nutritionists regarding whether clinical guidelines for fatty liver disease need an overhaul.
