On the radio this morning, talking about improving treatments for cancer, they said that cancer could ‘become as treatable as diabetes’.
I really hope they can do better than that!
They didn’t specify which type of diabetes, but if they meant T2, that well-known ‘progressive disease’, then let’s really hope that they don’t follow the same path we see every time someone is diagnosed with diabetes.... The hopelessly outdated misinformation (if any advice or explanation is given at all), the lack of research and lack of training for doctors in key associated areas (like appropriate diet), lack of medical care beyond the administrative bean-counting of sending patients for the bare minimum of mandatory assessments, the complete disinterest in how some of those diagnosed manage to achieve astonishing improvements, and the meddling and disruption of sensible scientific investigation and debate by corporate and media entities with a financial or dietary-dogma axe to grind.
Not to mention the decades of flawed nutritional advice which has induced the disease in thousands of people in the first place.
Yeah, don’t let’s use the current approach to diabetes treatment as the model or sunlit-upland goal for better cancer treatment. Everyone deserves better than that.
