The cost of diabetes to the NHS is over £1.5m an hour or 10% of the NHS budget for England and Wales. This equates to over £25,000 being spent on diabetes every minute.
In total, an estimated £14 billion pounds is spent a year on treating diabetes and its complications, with the cost of treating complications representing the much higher cost.
If it is found to be attributed to self infliction, why shouldn't they be made to contribute towards their treatment on a means tested basis.....
Pay up, in a similar way it works in the ROI, as explained to me by Cogs.

All these factors are inextricably linked to the risk of diabetes or the risk of serious complications for those already diagnosed.
It is difficult to get clear evidence of absolute risk related to deprivation.The Health Survey for England 2011 found that men in the lowest quintile of equivalised household income were 2.3 times more likely to have diabetes than those in the highest quintile, and for women the risk was 1.6 times higher.
For people in the most deprived quintile of the Index of Multiple Deprivation, men had a 1.8 times increased risk and women had 3.1 times increased risk. However, data from the National Diabetes Audit suggests that people in the most deprived quintile are 1.5 times more likely to have diabetes than those in the least deprived.
The variation in deprivation and diabetes is only seen in those with Type 2 diabetes. Deprivation has no effect on developing Type1 diabetes, which is unsurprising as it is not lifestyle related.

The fructose in the grapes is what ferments to become alcohol, leaving the finished product low in sugar. If the wine has been fermented to “dry” (red or white) it contains very low levels of residual sugar (less than 1g per litre).We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

For every drink you have, you have to subtract something else from your diet or log another mile on the treadmill— or risk weight gain.
