[QUOTE="mark4785, post: 1025780, member: 27997"] I believe the amount of money the NHS spends on correcting diabetes complications is phenomenal but some of these complications won't have been directly caused by what a person chooses to eat or do beforehand. On the other hand, there will be some people with type 2 diabetes who have been told to cut down on fat and sugar intake to reduce their chances of acquiring diabetic retinopathy, kidney disease/failure, foot / full leg amputation and heart attack that respond by doing the exact opposite. I do feel sympathy for those who are doing their best to mitigate their type 2 diabetes, especially if they are being deemed 'responsible', as you put it, for NHS debt. The idea that a type 1 can be blamed for NHS debt is not even a possibility since the cause of the immune system destroying the cells of the pancreas isn't known. [/QUOTE]
