I agree and it is much more than just the adolesence too. You see puberty hormones and everythign else that is going on at that age also effect how the insulin works. One day they can cause it to crash another day rise uncontrollably.At that age one day you may be longing around and doing nothing the next day up and doing everything you can fit into a day.To me it is frightening that they even are considering this as somethng to save money with.This will kill some of them who may have to spend time alone.
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.
