While in hospital recently in the side ward I was on all of the six patients where diabetic. Three out of that six at least where being treated for septic feet one because he had stood on a nail all had high blood sugars apart from me and I believe I was the only one who had heard of low carb diets most of them had been there weeks one gentleman had a perferating ulcer of the foot and was being treated with maggots.The cost to the NHS of promoting the ingestion of high levels of carbohydrates must be very high  as must be the level of suffering caused to people who have followed faithfully the advise given them thinking it will make them well. So I have signed it.</blockquote>
