While i hear the "$" argument is this years budget, etc, ( and imho very short-sighted )
Having recently broken my legs i wasn't just sent off to "get on with it"
and told to only jump so high ( aka eat 10% less carbs even though carbs ARE the issue )
i got treatment, advice and a pair of crutches, to help support me during recovery.
and once that ended i now get physio each month (zoom because of covid )
i could have just accepted being less able in future,
but that was NO good for me OR the country at large.
I wanted to get better,,
And THAT was the default position of the NHS took.
why it's different for t2d i don't know
Help AND support for the short time it took my bones to knit and allow me to adjust to a new reality for a short time
(pace, expectations)
Which is what i found i needed to adapt to T2D, and LCHF WAS my crutch,
that is what took me from crippled to walking under my own steam, so to speak.
Perhaps we should adopt the Aussie approach
@EllieM points out ?
Those who really can't be bothered can simply ask fur the traditional route
And those who CAN see the reasoning will at least have a few months of getting to grips with LCHF
AND managing the disease in a visible, immediate way by testing,
Rather then waiting 3 months to find out that they were doing it wrong,
but NOT knowing what it was they were doing wrong.....
AND left to Repeat at each HBA1C, ad infinitum until hospital stays finally beckon.
