Diabetes: everything you need to know, including the signs, symptoms and treatments
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health...ng-need-know-including-causes-signs-symptoms/
Just come across this article on my Apple News news feed. Seemed sensible and well balanced until the last few paragraphs.
'Avoid fat, eat rice, fat makes you fat. Oh and look you can buy this home HbA1c test if you like'.
I understand that low carb is slowly starting to trickle through the NHS but this is daft. In years to come will people try to sue the papers, the documentary makers, even the NHS itself over the fact they've been advised to essentially kill themselves slowly? Where is the study to show potential savings to the NHS if they pushed diet over pills?
Bit of a rant I know but it just seems crazy!
