[QUOTE="jopar, post: 207621, member: 11712"] Whichever way you look at it, 0.25% is a small number.. Now the information you provide is satistical data colleced between 2000-2004... So can be a bit missleading satistics when determining and reflecting what this means for future diabetics.. As this data is based on a Time lag an indictor of outcomes of older regimes/treatment and drugs available not the then current regimes/treatment and drugs available after this time spam.. Phoniex link shows that in the UK, a different picture between 2007-10 the satistical figure of amplutations have dropped from the suggested 4.7 per 1000 down to 1.54! Now this could be that it's concetrating on one demorgraphic area and not as a whole or it may be that improved regimes/treatments and drugs do have an impact on out come.. I found Phoniex's link interesting, as the maps show that I actually live in an area that is coloured as being one of the highest areas's for amplutations for both diabetic and non-diabetic.. Now is this because we have poor support for management/treatment could well be, as I do know that for T1's insulin pumps aren't easily available (or in my surgery DSN's words, rare as hens teeth) and that you won't easily get new T2 medication such as Bayetta or victoza etc any new regiemes/treatments are pretty slow to filter through to my area.. But I am also fully aware that I live in an area that demorgraphically has one of the highest percentage of elderly in the country.. So when it comes to satistics such as.. Suicide in the Ederly, we have the highest percentage.. When it comes to care provision and dementia's etc we hold the highest percentages etc.. So when it comes to satistics one has to be very carefull how to interpretate them.. So no I haven't got my eyes closed as you suggest As to messages Well I'm not giving misleading information to suggest that there's a fore gone conclusion that if you eat carbs then you will lose your legs.. Which is something you are doing, as well again [b]0.25%[/b] is a small figure.. [/QUOTE]
