No progress is being made in the fight against serious complications !

If you check out the NHS stats you see no progress has been made in the fight against serious complications, safer HbA1c numbers and life expectancy for diabetics. The new expensive drugs and healthcare professionals and dietitions have got nowhere, in fact the situation is getting worse. Diabetics requiring kidney dialysis is going up steeply.

NHS Statistics for 2008 2009:

Percentage of Type 1 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 7.5 per cent = 71.4 per cent.

Percentage of Type 2 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 7.5 per cent = 33.4 per cent.

Percentage of Type 1 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 10.0 per cent = 33.6 per cent.

Percentage of Type 2 diabetics with HbA1c greater than 10.0 per cent = 14.3 per cent.

These results are very similar to those found in 2006 – 2007 and 2007 – 2008.

Check out the link below it will take you to the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement. Check out the dietary recommendations for type two diabetics. The diet is the reason for nil progress !

　
"Daily food intake - no clear formula for dietary composition, aim to make changes that approach following recommendations"

Total carbohydrate - 45-60% of energy intake [16] or 45-65% of energy intake [17]
protein - less than 1g/kg per body weight [16]
total fat - less than 35% of energy intake [16]
