[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1398485, member: 355878"] Today was my third diabetes education session. I think that the costs to the NHS and the changes in how the various checks are done - such as the eye tests being privatised, are beginning to have an impact. There was actually a flicker of interest in Atkins - that is, it was mentioned. The improvement in my Hba1c was far greater than any of the others attending, and there was mention of the lack of information available for dealing with diabetes. I think anything we can do to reduce the burden on the NHS, and to help those newly diagnosed or not doing well with their control is going to make a difference long term in the viability of the diabetes healthcare available and ultimately in the lives of people living with it. For people where healthcare is far less accessible it could be the difference between a healthy life and a miserable death - I saw my grandmother dying from uncontrolled diabetes. Yes, I'm noisy about eating low carb and having a meter to test with - and yes I think that more people ought to try it, but only because I was so relieved to see the results of my second blood test. Not only do I have hopes of symptomless diabetes, but of not being a burden on the NHS for the foreseeable future. [/QUOTE]
