Think so.Which area focused on calorie reduction? North-East perchance?

As I think I said she was a GP prior.

Newcastle diet was given quite a few minutes in the north-east and cumbria's programme. Professor said that the recent trial is yet to be completed/published so until then he doesn't expect the nhs to progress with his findings. But he is hoping they will make it part of standard nhs diabetes care. @AndBreathe .Think so.
Once again proving no consistance and depends which region will depend on nhs solution.The earlier thread about the various Inside Out diabetes-related programmes in different BBC England regions is here.
As they used to say: 'except for viewers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which have their own programmes'.
The London programme only is shown later this week on BBC News Channel (14:30 29/10 and 10:30 on 30/10).
There is an associated BBC News report here, drawing on more than one of the editions.
As per the last discussion on this point, after the Panorama programme, "Lifestyle" isn't pointing at each Type 2 individually. There is a vast amount of evidence that shows that by changing "Modern Lifestyles", it's possible to massively reduce the onset of Type 2 diabetes. It's therefore perfectly reasonable to suggest that by changing the population's normal lifestyle, it should be possible to reduce the number of people being diagnosed with Type 2.Why do these programs focus so much on how much it is costing the NHS? I dont see programs about cancer, or other health issues, focusing on cost in this way. It seems like its unfairly blaming us.
I think its to blame us T2 so people can point to us when they cant get NHS treatment due to cost factors, or their treatment is delayed, instead of pointing to the government cuts. I dont think this vilification and blaming is fair.

The GAD tests isn't that reliable especially if taken a few years after initial diagnosis. There are other causes of islet cell failure including viruses, pancreatitis and other rarer antibodies. The c-peptide test is more useful as it shows how much the islet cells are producing rather than just looking at one cause (but a major one). My GAD was negative 7 years after diagnosis but my c-peptide was at the bottom end of range and have always been slim.Still can't figure out why after the antibody test in July which said I was Type 2, why I am that, as I have always been slim .....
The 'N' in NHS has always been somewhat of a misnomer as the delivery is local, as is the financial accountability. It has always struggled to be a preventative rather than a reactive service as the pay-off is long term and difficult to account for.Once again proving no consistance and depends which region will depend on nhs solution.
Ref my earlier reply, I blame a virus as well. Around the time I offered myself to a drug company for drug testing not knowing I had oncoming diabetes. I was rejected as I had a high white cell count but my blood sugar was fine. A year later I had very high sugars and was diagnosed (wrongly?) as a T2. I never found out what the cause of the inflammation was, but I can guess.Yes but I have always been slim and my endocrinologist describes me as "lean" Yes there is diabetes in the family but they were all overweight. My homeopath who was a GP prior said she couldn't understand why I was/am diabetic
I'll console myself and hang onto the cause as being a virus! lol Thanks Guys!

My GP knows very little about diabetes especially new treatments. He had never heard of Prof Roy Taylor and he's the head of the diabetes practise at my surgery.As I think I said she was a GP prior.

@mist some cancers are preventable too. With action from knowledge pushed, it is avoided.Well diabetes in some cases can be prevented. Cancer cannot.
He is not a musician he's a magician he keeps pulling facts out of his hat.I've never heard of him either. What kind of music does he play?
Looks to me a solution that has to be used because less invasive and costly procedures have failed. Probably if NHS is paying a lot means that something else is paid a lot.Personally I consider the so-called 'solution' of the widespread cutting out of stomachs as almost the first resort to be an admission more of a long-term abject failure of the NHS and the wider public health framework than of the individuals concerned, but BBC London seems obsessed with it, even though it is a solution more fitting of the 19th century.
There's personal responsibility on a lot of disesases: if for instance I broke my leg while climbing a mountain I could have prevented this not climbing.There is a degree of personal responsibility too to make the best of it though made by the man progressively losing his toes having unfortunately come to that conclusion too late for himself.
