[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2408580, member: 526953"] The majority of companies that sit in this category already provide carb contents, it might not be on the menu but it’s certainly available. The thing about legislation & lobbying is they often are bringing into law something that it’s already being done to a certain degree in order to present it as new policy. A war on obesity right?! While it will most likely do no good. I’d take a different approach to improving diabetic life. First I would call for all T1’s to get a libra & training on prescription to mange their levels & increase access to data that allows for meaningful conversations with our health professionals. It also supports the telemedicine approach most hospitals are implementing to save time & resources on outpatient visits. Second, you could argue that a low carb diet is the best initial treatment for T2. So ditch the meds & support all T2’s with low carb diet & exercise planning with a dietician. Something of a pipe dream maybe but when I’ve finished my PhD I aim to work in public health, specialise in diabetes care, take everything I’ve learned & experienced to make real change. [/QUOTE]
