Please also check the the ingredients / additions declared on the labels for "standard foods" e.g. Thorntons "normal" choclates and compare the listings with "diabetic" choclates. May I also remind you that sugar, salt and fat additions are not necessary. They are use by food manufacturers to...

Gary, what you describe is worrying. May I suggest that you see your GP asap? However, one of the control factors for diabetes is diet. May I suggest that through your GP that they arrange for you to see a qualified dietician? The most worrying factor is that you say you had your diabetes...

Dear tonya63, I was interested in your post. I wish you well in all your endeavours to contain your diabetes.

If you choose "loose interpretation" as the way you wish to translate what I have said about the Legality of the NHS and, access to it; go for it. I hope that my SHOUTING as you put it, has got through to any politicians etc who has designs on interfering with the Legality of the BRITISH...

I did say loud and clear that all British European people are Legally covered because the NHS exists under under LEGISLATION. you are legally covered in the UK and the EU! Part of that overall LEGISLATION clearly states that delivery of ALL HEALTHCARE must be provided FREE. Therefore you are...

Is it going to do my diabetes any good? Incidentally, I like Austria very much!

LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE. IT IS TOTALLY UNNECESSARY ME TO START A NEW THREAD; AND YOU CAN USE LOWER CASE - THAT IS YOUR CHOICE. I WILL CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR THE MORE THAN 80% OF THE UK DIABETIC POPULATION WHO DO NOT HAVE THEIR DIABETES UNDER CONTROL. WHY HAS THIS GOVERNMENT NOT SAID ANYTHING ABOUT...

Please do not make this difficult by trying to put holes into what I have said. If you are concerned that you are NOT getting what you are ENTITLED to, have you been to see your GP? What has he/she said? You / we THE BRITISH EUROPEAN PEOPLE are all covered by HHS Legislation! That is the Law.

To ALL DIABETICS [TYPES1 AND 2]. Diabetes is a a killer disease. We are ENTITLED under Law and the BRITISH EUROPEAN PEOPLE'S NHS , to have FREE ACCESS to MEDICATION and TESTING MONITORING. If there are ANY DIABETICS IN THE UK, who are being denied this FREE ACCESS either from your GP...

HI LOVELY ETC., THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. IT IS HAPPENING FAR TOO OFTEN, TO TO MANY UNWARY BRITISH PEOPLE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR GP TO ENSURE THAT HE PRESCRIBES THE TEST STRIPS AND LANCETS APPLICABLE TO YOUR BGL BLOOD TEST MONITOR. YOU MUST GO AND SEE HIM NOW. DO NOT TAKE NO...

Certainly! I used the word "we" on the basis of someone exercising their power of choice. It is as simple as that. Similarly diabetic food should be simple, legal and nutritious.

Food manufacturers, suppliers and retailers "can only get away with it" if we allow them to do so. This is the twenty first century and people are much better informed. We know what diabetic food should be and it is not "rocket science." I see this as a big challenge for the food industry, the...

I am not asking too much really. I do think that food manufacturers / suppliers are missing out because if anything, unfortunately, the UK diabetic population is set to increase.

The petition is closed.

I am not a cook but I do like good nutritious food! Secondly, I am not asking you to eat "supermarket food." Where do you get your "raw materials" from? I am saying that good, nutritious diabetic foods should be made available to those who CHOOSE to use such foods.

Yes, everything in moderation and you really cannot go wrong. Please remember to monitor your own BGL at least twice daily. Do not let your GP, PCT or anyone else tell you that once or twice per week is "good enough." That is proverbial rubbish [I am being kind here]. Diabetes is a terrible...

How about no added sugar, reduced salt content and no fat? I have throughout said that legal conditions must be applied to diabetic foods. This includes complying with strict labeling regulations. Maybe those highly paid people in the FSA can begain to earn their large salaries. If you do not...

I agree Steve08. You are persevering to stay aloft of your diabetes. Such control is exemplary.

There are two common threads going through all the contributors who post comments on diabetes. One thread is the diagnosis of diabetes, which occurs from a variety of causes. The other thread is the effective treatment of this disease. I think that it is very concerning that even with the most...

The point I make concerns all foods. The food standards agency has shown itself to be an inept quango and should be disbanded. The current event of horse meat contamination stands as evidence to their inepitude. However, this is only a part of the story. There are other glaring examples of...
