“If you are so anti DUK then why go to their events at all? You are clearly a troublemaker whos sole intention is to disrupt an event that is being put on by a charitable organisation who does great work to both help diabetics and raise awareness of diabetes on behalf of all of us. Their event is certainly no place for you to air your personal views and grievances.”
Another member said today “Is it just me or is everyone missing the point instead of moaning about which catering company they use for functions should we not just all be thankful there r charitys like this working hard for people like us and show our thanks and support no matter what?”
Great work to both help diabetics and raise awareness of diabetes Sid says. What great work ? Where has DUK done great work to help me, and the close to two million like me, namely UK type two diabetics ? Does DUK promote a diet that will help me control my diabetes with minimal or no drugs ? No they do the opposite. They promote a diet that guarantees highly elevated blood glucose numbers, which in turn guarantees dependence on medication. Just what their pay masters want, i.e big pharma and junk food outfits.
Has DUK worked hard and won the right for all diabetics to get test strips, No. Has DUK worked hard to ensure all know about the corruption of big pharma and how big pharma has been find $billions. For lying, falsification of trial data, and killing people with their useless and dangerous drugs, No. Has DUK informed diabetics how ineffective most type two drugs are ? No. Has DUK improved upon the gruesome data and lamentable HbA1c results from type one diabetics, i.e. 93% of UK type one diabetics fail to get to a safe HbA1c as reported in the annual NHS audits ? No !
Kath stated in a comment on this blog the other day, words to the effect DUK is worse than the corrupt big pharma and junk food companies, because DUK come to us as friends. I agree with Kath 100%. Some years ago DUK run a campaign called ‘Diabetes The Silent Assassin’ another awareness campaign, a chance to beat the drum and raise money, as is their latest relationship with Tesco. Another chance for misguided volunteers, to work for free, to continue the abomination that is DUK. Another chance to keep people in a job, another chance to keep the company cars running, another chance to keep Baroness Young in her hundred grand a year job. It is my opinion DUK are the assassins, and they might as well be silent, for all the good they do not do for the average diabetic. In fact if they were silent, most diabetics would be in a safer place. He who pays the piper, names the tune !

I see Whitby Jet has blown her cover. Her posts are typically Karen, aka Chocfish in this thread.
She is no more the timid little cook who would not say boo to a goose.
Is life ever simple? Are people ever what they seem? Your posts here, are I'm sure read with interest. Indeed after a day with the family there was a lot to read and digest this evening.Why do I read it, what am I doing typing this when I should be in bed.I like to see the different articles, the up to date items of interest for diabetics.My uncle died with diabetic complications, I now have type 2 diabetes, I read and act on good information that works for me. That over the last two years has been a much reduced carbohydrate intake and not being so afraid of eating good fats. I have learned that the word fat is good and include butter, nuts etc in my weekly foods.Sometimes in life you have to say to hell with what you think, I know what works for me and I'm going to do this. Try and help others yes but if they don't want to hear or act on information it's their loss and sod them.
and sorry I'm sticking to anonymous cowardly you may say but it's what I want to do so put up with it.
Hi we don't have a problem with your anonymity it's only those that use the tag to make personal attacks about our team members.
Well done on gaining control of your type 2.
Regards
Graham
Excellent piece, once again saying what needs to be said and highlighting the state of what should be a helpful resource and charity to people. And not a silent assassin
