[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 322024, member: 47233"] I've actually wondered for a long time whether epilepsy and diabetes are somehow linked. I don't mean that all diabetics are prone to epilepsy or vice versa but that there is some common link between the two conditions that is food and nutrition related and it affects one person one way, and the other in a different way. My sister who is epileptic, for example, has always disliked fatty foods and preferred sweet foods and carbs. She'd happily live on cakes and biscuits. So perhaps she's lacking in whatever fat does for our body, the omegas etc and brain function. I just think so many people who've spent years with epilepsy could perhaps be helped by something as simple as tweaking their diet, has to be worth a try. And the same can be said of diabetes. And yes, I think the health service is set in its ways and does move too slowly because it's far too big and unwieldy and it takes far too long for decisions to be made because to even change a lightbulb in the NHS you're talking about setting up a committee, a sub comittee, a working party, a steering group and a thousand meetings about meetings before anyone actually gets the job of 'Lightbulb changer'. The machine has grown to big for its boots and now all it's resources are being spent on just keeping the machine going, but it's not actually going anywhere. [/QUOTE]
