yes, it says in the article that the contents was pulled after the complaint by the relative of the elderly woman.I don't know if they changed their website after the article but seems to me that is very empty of content - few pages that seems ripped from some other site wrapped in tons of javascript and CSS.
Rings to me as somewhat fishy.
Not sure you can refer to an elderly woman being in pain as tittle tattle
so far as I am aware that fits the definition of "tittle tattle..
as we will never know the extremity of the pain I wouldn't ever comment on that.

edited to add; ok, it does look dodgy about the charity.
Agree completely.. maybe we should tell that to Diabetes UK Cymru who seem to have leapt in with their commentsNor do we know what advice was given but some seem to be assuming that the site must have been blameless ( they are low carb after all!) and subject to an anti low carb witch hunt. Before / until the full facts are known, taking any position on the validity or otherwise of the suggested connection of her pain to the low carb advice she may have been given is based on nothing more than our own belief system as opposed to fact
I think it is shameful to give dietary advice to another, especially a little old lady unless you are a GP, (preferably their GP who has their notes), a dietician or a diabetes nurse (not any old nurse). Advising low carb to someone who may have a heart risk and therefore need to eliminate say, saturated fats, could caused them to have a stroke or heart attack because they might try to replace the calories from the carbs with the wrong fats.
In that case perhaps we should all post our "Goodbyes", while hanging our heads in shame. Many of us would not have to give up our time to advise and encourage others if GP's etc could be trusted to give sensible dietary advice (such as that given by forum member, GP, Dr David Unwin) to Type 2 diabetics.I think it is shameful to give dietary advice to another, especially a little old lady unless you are a GP, (preferably their GP who has their notes), a dietician or a diabetes nurse (not any old nurse).
Unfortunately, although there is plenty information in the article, it is still not enough to make up one's mind as to whether the criticism is justified.
Really?No carb would make you unwel
