[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2515774, member: 196898"] Let us take on board that the NHS official guidelines on diet are Eatwell, and not Low Carb or keto. I attended an NHS meetimg to discuss DESMOND content before it was finalised so diabetics a plenty were invited. That too had cakes and trifles and sticky buns for the lunchtime break (sandwiches and pork pies). They offered teas and coffees during the session, but there were no sweeteners in the house. I attended a church meeting for a lecture on diabetes given by DUK (the other lot) and in the break we were given access to their promo stall in the foyer that was also stuffed high with cakes and chocolate goodies. They were holdong a raffle to raise money, and the main prize was an Xnas Hamper. I pointed out the absudity of this and I was informed that it was to increase their fundraising. I thought Nope, its to increase your victim pool to justify your existance. I note that Tesco is now a major sponsor of DUK. It used to be ASDA, and before that it was Kwick Save. Same tune, different pipers Edit to add: the DESMOND meeting I was at decided that there was a difference between the needs of T1D and T2D. As a consequence DESMOND begat DAPHNE. [/QUOTE]
