[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1696253, member: 406880"] Regardless of who pays for health care systems, be it the ordinary taxpayer in single-payer systems like the NHS, or the employer and/or taxpayer in mixed public/private systems like the US, the important take home message from this study is that lifestyle measures can work very well for many people with Type 2 diabetes. However, as long as the official guidelines for diabetes care in both the UK and the US continue to see Type 2 diabetes as a progressive disease requiring increasing medications and ultimately insulin, while at the same time only paying pay lip service to dietary interventions that do work for many, then health care systems on both sides of the pond will continue to waste valuable financial resources that could otherwise be put to good use for patients elsewhere in the system. Bottom line: Low carb, coupled with online support appears to be a winning combination - who knew???;) [/QUOTE]
