Diabetes UK criticises "lost year" of diabetes healthcare

Diabetes UK has branded 2012 a "lost year" for diabetes healthcare after a new survey suggested there has been almost no improvement to people’s standard of care over the past 12 months.

Of the 6,310 people who took part in the survey, 85 per cent said their healthcare had either stayed the same or worsened over the last year, while just 11 per cent said it had improved.

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" Einstein

DUK do the same thing year after year with their promotion of a high carb low fat diet. The NHS ADA et al also flog the diet of slow death and they are surprised no progress is ever made.
