Dr Ian Lake

Dr. Ian Lake, a founder member of The Public Health Collaboration (phcuk.org), has spent nearly four decades serving as a doctor in the NHS, primarily as a general practitioner. Diagnosed with LADA Type 1 Diabetes at 36, he initially managed his condition through conventional methods. However, a shift to a very low carbohydrate lifestyle a decade ago led to remarkable improvements in blood glucose control and daily life, reducing the frequency and severity of hypoglycemic episodes. This personal transformation inspired Dr. Lake to support others with Type 1 Diabetes in exploring the benefits of low-carb diets. Dr Ian Lake contributed on developing Combe Grove's Type 1 Diabetes Programme, bringing his insights and commitment to real food lifestyles and metabolic health to support and empower others.
