Are diabetics the laziest most apathetic people on the planet?

Over at diabetes.co.uk the self styled "Largest Diabetes Forum in Europe" a poll was started the thick end of three days ago. This outfit boasts of over 240,000 people receiving their news letter ( a mail shot selling tool ) and over 140,000 forum members. As you can see below, the response from the members has been absolutely pathetic. Which leads me to wonder, and ask the question, are diabetics the laziest most apathetic people on the planet? Eddie

We call on Diabetes UK to recognise the LCHF diet alongside the HCLF diet.

Yep,a pretty piss poor turnout,how are we ever going to crack the likes of DUK if folks can't even muster the strength to left click a mouse to vote!! Then again,lots of low carbers have been banned or stoned to death and have lost the will to log in there anymore and who can blame 'em!

Apathy rules.
Come on all you diabetics click that mouse.

I've clicked for LCHF to be recognised as it is the safest way and best way and it works.

The numbers are even worse than they look, because "Multiple votes are allowed" Pitiful in the extreme. The only honest and genuinely caring mod at the flog is Ian Day. He has worked tirelessly for years to help fellow diabetics, and this is the thanks and support he gets. Is it any wonder the dietary information and care for so many UK diabetics is so poor? when so many clued up diabetics can hardly get off their arse to help anyone.

I choose to remain anonymous, but by reducing my carbohydrate and sugar intake, my blood sugars numbers improved. This also resulted in my energy levels being higher and I was able to vote in this poll you mention. I do not know if many of my diabetic forum friends have done the same.
