More than 500 diabetes patients are 'dying prematurely' every week, charity claims.

"More than 500 diabetes patients are dying early every week, figures reveal.

Many are falling victim to strokes, heart attacks and kidney disease, which can be prevented with proper treatment.

An analysis by the charity Diabetes UK found that men and women aged between 35 and 64 with Type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to die early as those without the condition.

Patients with Type 1 diabetes, which is less common and not linked to obesity, are three to four times as likely to die prematurely." Link to this article here.

For decades Diabetes UK have heavily promoted a diet of slow death to diabetics. A diet including highly processed carbohydrates. Carbs turn to sugar once digested. Diabetics are the most allergic to sugar people on the planet. There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate (medical fact). 

Why could this terrible situation have come about you may be asking yourself. The last time I checked out the Diabetes UK sponsors, they included these companies.

Abbott Bayer Boehringer Ingelheim Bristol Myers Squibb Bupa Bunzl Everyclick First Capital Connect Flora pro.activ Kodak Lilly Lloyds Pharmacy Menarini Merck Serono Morphy Richards Merck Sharp & Dohme Limited Novartis Novo Nordisk Nursing Times PAL Technologies Ltd Pfizer Rowlands Pharmacies Sanofi-aventis SplendaTakeda Tesco Diets.

It is almost always the case, the more carbs/sugar a diabetic consumes, the more pharmaceutical drugs they require to combat highly dangerous blood sugar numbers. This approach to controlling diabetes does not work for most diabetics. DUK publishes grim data on a regular basis, they know it does not work. Clearly, if the charity promoted a low carb diet to all diabetics, the sponsors would suffer a huge loss in revenue. It is highly likely DUK would lose sponsorship money.  

It is my opinion, and that of many others, including a rising number of medical professionals, DUK is promoting a diet of slow death to diabetics. The article title "More than 500 diabetes patients are 'dying prematurely' every week, charity claims" I have no reason to doubt that very grim statistic, it is my opinion one of the root causes is DUK. They should hang their heads in shame. I believe a class action Lawsuit is long overdue for DUK and it cannot come soon enough.
