Why I follow a low carb lifestyle regime !
Graphic? YES!.... Relevant? YES! but when you see the reality of REAL complications (which I have seen first hand in fellow diabetics in hospital who were following the grim advice from the NHS to the letter) then I would say.."Are those spuds really worth it?" I don't want to see this to be 'par for the course' anymore.

Reality should be shown and talked of. If more diabetics were aware of what can and does happen if those BS numbers are not under control hospital beds would not be taken up so much.

My grandmother first had her toes amputated... then her foot... then her leg. I loved my grandmother and it was so dreadful watching her go through this. When I got the diagnosis of pre-diabetes I thought of my grandmother and knew I had to change!
ReplyDeleteIn spite of this, and other horror stories, I'm amazed at the number of people I speak to who say sokmething on the lines of:
ReplyDelete"Oh I couldn't live without my bread and potatoes".
Living in a seaside town and walking our two greyhounds I meet a lot of victims of, both the system and, their own stupidity.
I get quite enraged!

Great post Paul. Sadly the biggest cause of non trauma amputation of limbs in the UK is diabetic complications. Also, the biggest cause of working age people going blind, is diabetes, the same goes for kidney dialysis.
