[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1435518, member: 375067"] The good news is that with a LCHF diet, exercise and intermittent fasting you can reverse the high blood sugar levels experienced by type 2 diabetics and can mitigate the risks of serious diabetes complications. It is good to see that there is a glimmer of recognition that the official dietary advice has been wrong and has been partly responsible for the obesity and diabetes epidemics we have today. Peoples awareness that carbs are not good for you, and that daily fat is OK maybe gradually sinking it. There was a story recent story about bread sales dropping 10% and Unilever selling its margarine business as people are switching to butter as the more healthy option. The cost of diabetes to the UK economy was quoted as being up to £25 billion/year. Michael Mosley said ... [INDENT][I]Already the annual cost of type 2 diabetes is estimated to be as high as £25 billion —[B] lost in sick leave, early retirement and spent on hospital treatment[/B]. And though the prevalence of the illness has spiralled upwards in the past 20 years, we are seeing just the beginning of this crisis.[/I][/INDENT] In the Mirror article is says [INDENT][I]One person in 20 in the UK now suffers from type 2 diabetes, costing the NHS £8.8billion every year. One in six hospital beds is taken up by someone with the condition. By 2035 the cost will soar to £15billion a year – that is £1.7million an hour – as the number of overweight diabetes cases continues to rise.[/I][/INDENT] Unfortunately people and governments have not really paid enough attention to solving this problem. A sugar tax on fizzy drinks is a token response. There are lots of people who join this site after finding that their blood sugars are still high despite taking medication because they are reluctant to change their eating habits of a lifetime. Bariatric surgery is totally unnecessary if people have the willpower to do intermittent fasting or control their calorific intake. It seems many people think taking pills and having surgery is the answer, when in fact the solution is quite simple - eat less and eat low carb. [/QUOTE]
