It is like studying how much money can be saved by eliminating maps or GPS. Then they wait for enough cars to drive off a cliff before making the new proposal that maps or GPS could be a cost effective way to lower costs.<br />Both ways, it proves the benefits of bureaucratic improvement.<br />The means justify the means.<br />From the Peoples Republic of Vermont.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-47053596061691804862015-04-01T12:50:56.284+01:002015-04-01T12:50:56.284+01:00This is absolute bonkers. The study is essentially...This is absolute bonkers. The study is essentially saying; this costs money, we are investigating whether doing less of it costs less money. The conclusion? It does! Wow! Money well spent study people.<br /><br />FFS!<br /><br />This will get waved in the face of Type 2's as proof of something else entirely.<br /><br />Note how that it does not appear to address at all the core assertion that "(SMBG) confers no benefit for many people with type 2 diabetes". What bollocks that is; it's patently untrue. If and here's the million dollar 'if' if you know what to do about the results and can free yourself from the things causing the high blood sugar.<br /><br />From reading the link there is no suggestion at all that HbA1c was even measured. So how can they test that?<br /><br />Additionally, of course, as it is NHS policy to keep to the low-fat high carb diet the diet these people would have been advised to stick to would be just that; the good old NHS diet of death and guess what? Even with blood testing if you are eating 100's of carbs a day things aren't going to get better.<br /><br />What an outrageous piece of idiocy this is.<br /><br />We are on our own here when this type of rubbish gets any attention.<br /><br />DillingerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-66852318466581628712015-04-01T06:07:20.477+01:002015-04-01T06:07:20.477+01:00Sorry but WTF!
