[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1640562, member: 375067"] The NHS spends more on diabetic medications than any other ailment - £1 billion per year - see [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/aug/03/diabetes-drugs-cost-nhs-1bn-a-year-presciption[/URL] Despite this huge cost the remission rate for type 2 diabetes is only about 4%. Complications from diabetes including amputations, strokes, blindness etc costs in the region of £10 billion per year. However, a diet based approach can result in very high levels of remission, which could save the NHS billions in future years in lower medication costs and less cost for hospital treatments. It does appear from threads in this forum that most type 2 people who adopt a LCHF diet or undergo a Newcastle Diet get their blood glucose down to levels where medication is no longer required. This is a vastly better outcome than most type 2 patients in typical GP surgeries around the UK. My impression from talking to my diabetes nurse is that very few of her patients manage to get the type of results I found after going low carb. There needs to be education program for GPs and HCPs to tell them what is the most effective method to reverse type 2 diabetes. Otherwise the NHS will be overwhelmed with a tsunami of diabetic patients. [/QUOTE]
