[QUOTE="Deakint, post: 806289, member: 155159"] Thanks. I do think that people with diabetes can influence policy as current infrastructure is all about involving people living with the condition. I was invited to attend the Think Tank meeting but unfortunately couldn't attend due to other commitments. In some respects committees may take more notice from people living with diabetes than a healthcare professional. I do believe we need to work positively with policy makers and guideline committees as much as possible. The diet-heart hypothesis is so well ingrained that we can only hope for a shift in current thinking by educating and raising awareness. Your stories collectively can help to do this. One case study (n=1) will not have too much impact but n=?? (I don't know how many people are on this forum) could have a significant and positive impact. A campaign delivered diplomatically and professionally could be really effective. We don't want committees to feel threatened and undervalued as this could result in a backlash but working with the decision makers could be a step in the right direction? [/QUOTE]
