If they taught diabetics how to reduce the glucose load through low carb diet instead of drugs, they could save money on reduced insulin needs for Type I's and many Type II's who will need little or no oral medications, prevent others from ever developing full blown diabetes, reduce cardiovascular disease, the need for blood pressure medications, etc. This would result in enormous cost savings system-wide. <br /><br />It's a shame that people dying of cancer will have to forgo surgery when sometimes it's not for cure but for symptom relief--i.e. pain control while they continue to hand out bad advice and more and more expensive medications to diabetics.
