Many of us were upset by the throw away comment Quoted from Sir muir Gray about losing weight and walking 3000steps more a day being all a diabetic needs to do.
I eventually found an address which might find him and sent this.
Dear sir,
I would like to tell you that I have type 2 diabetes and have followed the path you recommend. I have lost 16 kg, so far and walk every day. My pedometer confirms it's 10.000 steps. More than 3.000 more that you recommended. I also do water exercises (Aquamobility) for 45 minutes twice weekly. I eat low carb, along the lines of Richard Bernstein's advice.
I regret to have to inform you that with all this, I still have the diabetes and still want to know what my blood glucose is doing, so I can keep it in check. I'm well within the targets set by my GP. I have NEVER seen a consultant. Why am I being denied blood testing equipment? and is my GP right in thinking that the NHS is moving towards getting all type 2 diabetics onto insulin? Surely that would cost more than some test strips? Even more expensive would be if I (and others like me) make mistakes with eating and exercise plans and Blood Glucose creeps up unnoticed, towards complications.
Yours
