[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2364503, member: 493719"] late to this [USER=535997]@AlfonsoJones[/USER] sort of agree it IS a numbers game cost per year, most likely trumps cost per decade. as pointed out by one or two, doesn't that testing itself save money over time. with the expected rise in T2D, more and more WILL be on that slippery slope to more meds, more needs and more hospital appointments all i suspect at a higher cost overall. and this is if you don't include the benefits those of us with T2D have found from going low carb. which i'd suggest is THE most cost effective measure to reduce the impact of T2D to individuals (and how do we monitor what effect that has without a meter ? ) GP Dr Unwin save fortunes at his surgery with Low carb treatment early doors. My asthma has improved dramatically, fewer meds, fewer surgery/hospital visits if it's similar for other asthmatics with T2D. i see other say their other ailments ease, arthritis was one. Less inflammation i suspect is helpful; add in the costs to society of sick days / meds / impairment / social care and hospital treatments all mount up. And that's not even considering the impact covid has with obesity and diabetes being some of the markers for increased risk. Not trying to argue, more like offering a differing viewpoint. you do make good sense, pretty sure it is the way the admins at surgeries etc think. but sensible in the long run.....naw. me ..? i take care of me as best i can so i test.. Proof of that pudding is in my scores, led by my testing i firmly believe i save the NHS some money, time + bed space, by doing that One benefit is that others who need help more, have a better chance of getting it, without me clogging up the system and i personally get to live the best healthy life i can...:) each to their own.
