[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 938617, member: 102150"] There is plenty to be done to make it [B]less [/B]of a struggle and to improve the [B]results [/B]of the struggle, and foremost amongst that is getting the right information and education out there, and combatting negative stereotypes. Now that is exactly what the charity should be doing. Instead, DUK is a dead and decomposing whale, floating around doing nothing despite a huge asset base, good income, and the ear of both government and the media. Contrast this with the JDRF which does fantastic work. The irony is DUK was started by diabetics and concerned medics and was originally a great, effective organisation. It has completely lost its way now. The entire time I've been diabetic, from my first issue of Balance I was given on diagnosis, DUK has been a total waste of space. I was a paying member for a while but they did nothing for me. Held me back in fact. [/QUOTE]
