[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 586566, member: 107467"] It made me very annoyed to say the least too. Whilst for some surgery may be a solution to their diabetes and other health issues, one can't help but think if the NHS focussed on helping people with meters, strips and better dietary advice, so many operations wouldn't be necessary. Also restrictions on the **** that supermarkets are able to push on the BOGOFs might be another good starting place, along with proper food preparation and menu planning classes in schools. While once we are diabetics fruit is not great, I'd like to see children eating an apple in season rather than a packet of dayglo sweets or slurping on a "healthy" iced drink or shake with a third of your daily calorie intake in one glass. If we go on as we are, there won't be enough gastric surgeons standing to do the operation. I couldn't help but notice that many of the staff at my local hospital on my recent visit were above optimal weight too, so if the health professionals can't get it right with current advice and legislation, not much hope for the rest of us, especially those on low incomes who have grown up around cheap junk food.
