One thing I haven't got my head round is what the status of DCUK is. Is it a charity? It appears to have staff.... who pays them? I have had a poke around the website, but can't find answers to these questions.
Speaking as an outsider, I'm not sure there's really "liking" involved. It's more a case that DCUK has taken a different approach to diabetes management from DUK, and as a result they are perceived by users/members very differently. I personally struggle with some of the advice that DUK gives, and the best way we can change that is infiltrate and assimilate....
I've started to attend meetings of my local DUK group and hope in time I can have some input. I'm finding the talks interesting and helpful, also meeting and talking to others face to face.
It seems to be free registration, so if you don't tell them you are a patient, I suspect you can get away with registering as something else. I know there is Pharma money involved this time though so they will be a bit careful regarding patients/general public turning up.
Hi Tim... I'm quite sure that the inability of any results of LCHF, or the good effects of ketosis for D@ is down to the big Pharmas always being involved, however visibly, or peripherally.... grrrrrr....
