[QUOTE="dawnmc, post: 857660, member: 40576"] I agree testing should be compulsory. However this must go hand in hand with proper training/education, and that would mean admitting that carbs are at fault. It would also cost more money if strips were doled out like statins and no follow up, there are so many diabetics these days that time/staff etc aren't available. Many diabetics I imagine think that taking the pills will sort them out and we all know that's not how it works. People just expect the NHS to pick up the pieces and then DLA to fund them when they have their legs chopped off or they go blind etc. It means taking responsibility for our own health, and while we on this forum are keeping ourselves well informed there are many that don't.
