[QUOTE="serenity648, post: 1352407"] The way one looks at this discussion depends on whether one agrees that what we eat affects our healthy blood sugar levels, or not. A special diet is provided for religious reasons, or for personal moral decisions (like for vegans and vegetarians), and people dont seem to have a problem with their dietary requests being catered for. Some people read this thread and think "oh, people are being so unreasonable and demanding" because they appear to not accept how vital low carbing is to some on here. And that some of us do not have relatives and friends to bring in food either. others read this thread and think "Yes, being able to have the diet which controls my blood sugar levels and makes me heal quicker and need less medical intervention is saving the NHS time and money" because they know the importance of diet on their own blood sugars. It all depends on your point of view on this subject. I also think, up to a point, that the NHS is being ideologically starved of money, as we appear to have a bottomless pit of money to spend on war, HS2 etc. and making it possible to avoid complications and speed healing by addressing our dietary needs saves money. As someone who has worked and paid NI and taxes for 39 years, I am not going to apologise for using the service, nor am I going to apologise or feel guilty for wanting access to a diet which is part of my medical treatment, and just as vital to my health as any medicine I need.
