[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 1935002, member: 493719"] cheers Set in stone. very interesting. And the comments below on the beeb made me chuckle AND despair... at the range of knowledge out there...because that ignorance was me a few months back.:bigtears: IF the thinking is low carbs is good...and it does seem to be, i can see the wisdom of the ND. But if it's mainly about the cost factor of what seems, by many reports to be a growing epidemic wouldn't the NHS save a shed load of money if we just educated more people that cutting the carbs and tweaking their diet, could add years of trouble free (aka diabetes free) enjoyable living..? All those things many on here know, but i'm just finding out now from here and the diet doctors infographic re glucose levels and better food choices, etc (all be it too late for me, but not for so many others ) if we only check when problems suggest an issue, it seems to me we miss a great way to prevent / limit the disease itself by some sort of early screening program....my bloods suggested then confirmed the bad news, but i know many are PRE, diabetic, Wouldn't such a screening make MORE people, pre diabetic, YES..and at an earlier stage.. The benefits would be...no need for meds at that point, just some good advice and a move to more regular monitoring.....perhaps ? it seems to have worked for more then a good few on here, less carbs + more active = less meds and accompanying issues, seems a decent trade off, me thinks. On that note the beebs closed comments but this one below still caught my eye..( and it's NOT me, before anyone asks...LoL :D) (years since i was in a Gym, recently looked into joining one local, wonder if many would not have the nerve to even pop in ? think i would have liked that to be a part of my desmonds course..so many seemed ill informed and if i am honest, a little lack lustre in appreciating the impact this disease COULD have...)
