hurch leaders at City Road Methodist Church were alarmed to hear that people with diabetes and those over-weight, were more likely to get Covid19, and for infection to be fatal. They asked one of the world’s leading authorities on diabetes, Dr David Cavan, a former director of the International Diabetes Federation and writer on diet to advise its congregation on diet during lockdown.  The Church is distributing the 15minute video on its Facebook, Twitter, and other social media pages. Dr Cavan explains why overweight people are especially vulnerable from Covid19, but stresses that everyone needs to take particular care of their diet, both in what they eat and drink. He advises members of the congregation to eat plenty of fresh food, and cautions against all processed foods. He discusses how Christians and people of faith have a special responsibility to take care of their bodies.Dr David Cavan is an experienced medical doctor who has worked in the field of diabetes for over 25 years. He was a Consultant Physician in Bournemouth, UK for many years, followed by three years working in Brussels as Director of Policy at the International Diabetes Federation. He now works as an independent consultant and author of books to support diabetes self-management. He is passionate about promoting effective self-management of diabetes and encourages each individual to make their own choices on how they wish to manage their diabetes.  He favours a collaborative approach, rather than a traditional ‘doctor-patient relationship’
