Martin Budd graduated as an Osteopath and Naturopath in 1963 after four years study. In 1971 he completed a three year post-graduate training in Traditional Acupuncture. He practised for some years in Essex and Cheshire and in the early 1970s became a director of the Basingstoke Clinic. This was a multi-therapy facility set up with a laboratory and X-ray unit to offer diagnostic services to patients and practitioners. It was during this time that Martin developed a special interest in blood sugar problems, culminating in his first book 'Low Blood Sugar' published in 1981. Since then he has written books on diabetes, migraine, a recipe book for Low Blood Sugar co-authored with Maggie Budd, hypothyroidism and other causes of chronic fatigue. These books have been variously printed in Spanish, Italian, Greek, French, Portugese, Danish, Hungarian and Hebrew. Australian and American editions have also been published.
