Re: Chance for YOU to help end the diabetes care postcode lo Yes that could be true. I think it might also be the case that individuals are not always included because of admin and other problems. Just thnik of the massive changes in the NHS over the past few years. It is probably quite...

I totally agree with you Thundercat. My first thught was that the "GP" was flouting ignoring or unaware of the rules and expeced it to be picked up by the Moderators. In the past several people have claimed o be HCPs . Someimes they are but hey are not always here to help. I otally...

Sometimes a diabetics worst enemy is - other diabetics!

I said llllllast night I wouldn't post again until the bans were lifted But this will be my last post ever here. I am not leaving because of any particular issue but because on he whole , it is no longer worth it for me. It is quite difficult pphysicallly at imes for me to post and when I...

Yes I will do the same Defren. I take Lucy's point but the newly diagnosed stand o lose a great deal more in he long term if things are not sorted out.

The diabetes compications are fairly low on the Board Index. Do people not feel that i is suffficient?

It is very true that mebers of any forum need to know the rules and also the ethos of he forum Moderators have to deal with problems as they arise but generally people end to lnow where they stand. I have beeen absolutely shocked by recent happenings here. This business of baning people...

I am so happy that you feel I have helped you in some way Lucy. You will be missed but noone can be at all surprised at anyone leaving or having a break just now. Best wishes and take care. If we don't meet again here perhaps we will meet elsewhere,

It doesn't appear that a great number of people agree with Anna . Or perhaps they are indeed so afraid of the idea of complications that hey deliberately avoid any thread mentioning them . In that case hey have their own inbuilt defence against being upset by reading such things and we don'...

Its very sad for he newly diagnosed . Personally I would be so offended I would never return . These are intelligent people , many if not all with demanding jobs but still managing to find the ime to help others. Does anyone know exactly how many people are involved in this ban?Is it only...

Angua , Great post - mainly becaiuse I agreed with every word! The pont you make about being offended by certain posts is interesting and valid. I m sure tthat at sme ime we have all been offended by certain posts even when I not personally involved. I am often offended by posts making...

It really wasn't that obvious Viv, it was all done so quiely, behing the scenes hat hardly anyone was aware of it - in fact I don' think any of us wold have known anything from he forum itself as threads and people disappeared. In fact , I was wondering if defren had flu she was so quiet...

That'll be the winning argument then.[/quote Perhaps the problem is that "complications" in itself is a misnomer. They are more correctly I think, possible consequences of diabetes. I can understand why we don't use that expression , but I don't understand why newly diagnosed are shocked...

Your post says it all Ladybird. Thhat is reality . Yes the "accused " do serling work with the newly diagnosed. The amount of time they devote to them is amazing.. They are not indoctrinating or force feeding them and not scaring hem either. I have every admiraion for their paience and...

As I understand it Viv here was no accual " minor " in he case. It was merely a suggestion that minors and other sensitive persons might have been scared - nay- terrified had hey read abou complications. at any time. You may remember that a while ago we were advised not o argue lest i upset...

Yes I would like a copy ooo if you don't mind. This is he most disturbing part of all the recent fuss in my opinion.. The new "rules" about sensitivity and scaring newcomers are very subjective My real problem with all of this is that I feel that these forums empower people who fail o ge...

I m very sorry to lose you Mileana . We have lost two of our best moderators today. I hope your health stays on rack and you coninue to find ways to mange your condition. Please coninue o post oif you can Best wishes for he fuure.

I quite gree Carty . I am very glad that common sense has prevaailed nd I must comngrtulate Benedict on having the guts to reverse his decision because it ofen does take guts. I m sure tht Pneu's nalysis is right in that as you canno be roind all the time Benedict It is possible tht you hve...

Too PC. Did the poster consider any else's feelings. Bit of a sweeping generalisation wasn't it ? There are other ways of requesting information . It is possible to treat people too sensitively. It encourages them to talke liberties . Perhaps a litle politeness and a request for informaion...
