Everybody on insulin?

I've just been to my doctor and successfully begged some test strips. Blood pressure was ok-ish 130/78 and I discusseed my efforts to lose weight whilst on medication. I'm down 6 Kg since he last weighed me. During the discussion he told me that "they" want everybody on insulin. It's easier to keep good control. Since they're stopping prescribing strips to type 2s on orals, to save money. what will putting everybody on insulin cost the strips bill?
I also confirmed I'm still low carb NOT no carb. My "very Excellent GP" told me that they're coming round to it. NICE mentions low GI in the lates guidelines. He also told me he'd been to a talk by the local Big Fish on diabetes and asked about low carb. BF immediately threw out my name. Yippee!! I'm famous!!! ( I've never seen BF as a patient.)
I was also warned that just because I'm managing to avoid complications at the moment, It doesn't mean I can avoid them for ever and I will probably get some and need to go on insulin eventually.
Bernstein doesn't think so.
I wonder what they use for evidence for these things. I've read the Nice guidelines and there's no study of complications and long term low carbing.

I don't know if it's just my doctor suspecting that's the way the wind's blowing.
To me putting type 2s onto insulin immediately doesn't make sense as so many of us are sloshing about in the stuff. Bernstein suggests that we can protect our beta cells by low carbing and need never "progress" to insulin. However On the recommended diet all 2s are bound to progress, so I'm not sure what the game is. It's definitely NOT allowing us to take control of our condition, should we want to. I realise that many don't. NICE says we should be in control, but the PCTs are preventing it and blaming it onto NICE. I once wrote to NICE telling them I wasn't happy about the restriction on strips and they replied that it isn't their policy. That was before the latest guidelines were published. NICE and the PCTs have got it sewn up. If we don't like it, they bounce the blame back and forth. I'm about to write to NICE again. Their policy lumps all type 2s together and we have several diffrent groups according to how much control we wish o have over our own bodies.

Look up David Mendosa's site. He started with Byetta and continued with very low carb and exercise and is noe off all medication Byetta is expensive and tthey don't like it to be prescribed, but it's a lifeline for some of us. I have checked the NICE guidelines and despite batrtling with weight, I'd never get it. I'm too well controlled. I sometimes wish I wer stupid and incompetent. I suspect I'd get better treatment. Not My GP, we've known each other professionally for over 30 years and I know he tries his best for me. I'm on Doxazosin 2 x 4mg per day for blood pressure and I asked for the 8mg tablets instead. He brought up the costs on his computer to show me. Would you believe that the 8mg tabs would work out about £100 a year more? For that I'll put up with slight inconvenience. Somehow I need to show that letting me have strips is economical. Since I'm retired, I'm ignored as a productive person.
