[QUOTE="QR93, post: 961905, member: 204066"] I can see you don't agree with the labelling system and you make a good point with regards to the definition of diabetic foods, but going back to the original question, do you see the two terms as meaning the same thing or not? Sorry - I am just trying to keep the thread on track and concise. I appreciate your input CollieBoy I didn't ask this question on the other thread but some respondents did diverge into discussing definitions so I can see why it looks like that. That thread was just to ascertain beliefs and attitudes towards these foods but there were tangents here and there touching on this thread. Here I am trying to be very specific and see if people view these very specific terms as being different or the same as these are the commonly used terms on packaging. Subtle wording changes can have an impact: I.e. "Diabetic" written in big writing on the front may imply that this food is made only for people with diabetes whilst "Suitable for diabetics" written on the packet may imply that in fact anyone can eat it, including people with diabetes.
