I think that you are correct, that while monitoring is essential for adolescents, the health boards would like to limit the monitoring for everyone once they get single payer.
Diabetics are definitely being targeted. I think that Michelle Obama’s obesity campaign is aimed at preventing diabetes. The sad part is that Atkins type low carb diets would never, ever be suggested by the same people who want to cut the monitoring.
I know and I am very afraid it is like they think that all diabetes is caused by obesity when it is not.Type 1 is thought to be an autioimmune diease and no amount of dieting or exercising will cure it.
