I was enthused to see over 50% of the people that voted are either lowcarb or lowcarb high fat, that was encouraging. Also, the much pushed and promoted by a few lowcarb antis, low GI diet only received 7% of the votes. Sid’s much beloved ‘portion control’ (starvation diet) was not an option.
So there you have it, over 70,000 members and a pitiful turn out. Could this be the reason so many healthcare professionals treat diabetics like cannon fodder ? Because so many diabetics think they will get on the case, next week, next month, next year. Could it be many healthcare pro’s at one time worked hard to help diabetics, but got sick of the apathy, and lack of effort by so many to put some effort into improving their health ?

I was quite amazed too at the poor turnout considering how easy it is click the button and how many posts there are on the 3 word story game!
It seems quizzes are more popular these days than diabetes over there.
Funny old world eh?

I imagine very few of the registered members there actually visit the forum any more. I know I don't and I'm sure I'm not the only one to have walked away in disgust about the total anti low-carb BS that goes on there.
Hi Indy
Over the years around two dozen members have done a fantastic job for junk food and big pharma. So many people must have gone blind, lost limbs and died, so the usual suspects could push a diet that works for them, but very few others. So many great members have walked or been banned, so that DCUK could build a mailshot list and a potential sale of the site.
I hope the clique are proud of themselves, sadder people are hard to imagine. To gain pleasure and work so hard to confuse and perpetuate the diet of slow death promoted by the NHS, DUK and ADA.
They are addicted to carbs and want everyone to join their junkies club. Fortunately the good news speaks for itself. Almost ALL the good news over the last five years has come from lowcarbers, it will ever be thus.

That's true Jill but as I keep saying many new posters here are lowcarbing.
A few of the old anti brigade are still trying to stifle discussion but they are marginalised and fast becoming irrelevant. Many of the new people don't even seem aware that there have been bitter battles and assume its just crotchety individuals.
