    Censorship

    Yes, if we can't ell each other the facs then I don't see the point of the forum. I lwys understood it was a place for diabetics to share their experiences nd help ech other by passing on tips and information. Perhaps admin could explain in more detail just what we are allowed o sy nd to...

    Diabetes care depressingly poor

    To take that to its logical conclusion RRB , none of us should post at all. I thought it ws understood that we were all just speaking from our own eperience nd giving our personal opinion. As we all have different experiences we will occasionally see something which horrifies us - something...

    Diabetes care depressingly poor

    In many cses it depends where you re coming from. The NHS diet may well be very successful becuse it is a far healthier diet than that which was. followed before. On the other hand we have people desperately in need of help where standard NHS advice has not been successful. When that...

Don't take the enhusiasms of others as a criticism of yourself or as an attempt to indoctrinate you. The thing is to remeber that theis forum has been...
