Re: How were you at diagnosis?
Hi Jumbleannie
In my personal opinion, the reason we're all suddenly getting diagnosed with diabetes is because we're being encouraged to stuff ourselves with far too much carbohydrate, even on a 'good' diet. I know some people will not agree with that, but it's just my opinion!
Also we're not cooking properly any more, at least some of us, because we have no time. That is not a criticism - me too!
Also, my generation was brought up not to 'bother' the doctor. Unless there is another reason, who goes to the doctor and demands a check-up? We should all have MOTs every 3 years or so. If things were caught early it would save everyone time, trouble and cash.
My practice apparently has 142 registered diabetics. I know we're a small practice, but I'm sure that's far too few - don't they think that it could be as much as 10% of the population? or was it 5%?
