Squire Fulwood said:The question I would like to ask is if there are more than 38000 members of this site why have less than 4000 of them signed the epetition http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20537
Squire Fulwood said:borofergie. I don't suppose we could entice you to vote could we? Think of us who might have to pay £15 for 50 strips.
desidiabulum said:Of course one way to get signatures on the e-petition up to 40,000 would be if every current signatory would persuade ten friends/family to sign it. Worth a try?
Squire Fulwood said:desidiabulum said:It doesn't say that you have to be both, just either one or the other. Can Oz claim to be British still?
borofergie said:You need also to remember that the popular media also paints T2 diabetics as "fatties that did it to themselves". Our cause is not always a popular one, even in the wider diabetic community, and we are often unfairly labelled as a drain on NHS resources.

There are many issues in your comments to which I don't have answers.
I wonder why people would join a site like this and not vote for adequate treatment.
Mod Edit (Pneu): Type I and Type II are both serious conditions to suggest that one community is more or less important.. or that one doesn't support the other (which on this forum we all support each other).. is not justified.
I only asked a simple question but it is getting more complicated by the minute.

The ePetition is voluntary and a matter of individual decision.
Pushing people and bad mouthing T1s isn't going to help.
