[QUOTE="phil1966, post: 1210854, member: 144138"] I personally don't think the NHS should necessarily be pushing any particular diet: What I would like to see is them encouraging the use of self-testing and educating people how to use the results to control their diabetes. For some (most?) people that will probably be a reduction in the amount of carbs, but a broad brush "drop the carbs" diet isn't necessarily the best approach IMO - for example, some people can eat more carbs than others and some people will also need to reduce their protein. The person with the diabetes is the best person to decide what works for them and the current insistence that T2 diabetics shouldn't test is the most damaging "advice" coming out of the NHS at the moment as far as I'm concerned and for that reason I won't be signing this petition [/QUOTE]
