Thank you for your kind words. I wrote my post after waking in the middle of the night worrying about how things are for diabetics out there. I don't feel our little voices will be heard any time soon. It's really frustrating. But I do think we have the where with all to spread the word now with the internet. I found this life saving site via Google. My mum was not so lucky 30 years ago when she was diagnosed and put straight on insulin as a t2d. If she had a sight like this to turn to her outcome could have new so different.
your absolutely right, our little voices not heard currently or soon, but we cant give up, the saying goes when doors close keep knocking, try try again, until someone the system the diabetes experts, so called committees, takes notice, the more voices who share knowledge of the reality the better, re areas that need changed reviewed, updated, I refer to an example, once had a client as am retired lawyer, the clients words were, I have never forgotten! "when one is not guilty, yet viewed as guilty, you know your 100% not guilty, then you are not guilty, and to get that right, you dont give up, until its right"
So, the message here is we cant give up demanding expecting more transparency and in dpeth information be provided than is taking place now.
Gained knowledge is a great tool, its how we use, it, Diabetes Industry personal opinion for what thats worth, has to get its act together, become more transparent, the medical system to produce more indepth information of Diabetes and general recommendations overall, recommend dietary changes, low carb lifestyle changes, even if that means those controlling and reversing their numbers lessen their medications, and perhaps lesser use of monitors lancets, using lifestyle changes, will result in, yes, a drop in big business, but what is more important, wanting the public to be healthier and control their insulin issues by dietary changes, or prefer they stay sick, and/or get worse, surely its time to respect listen hear accept success stories, and put out new leaflets, reviewed information update the current system of info in place, ie, more info focusing targeting first and foremost on lifestyle changes, low carb eating intermittent fasting v. medications, I am sure that would be welcomed for all.
I doubt that will happen, but we can hope....
