[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 530166, member: 12578"] No idea about beer as don't drink it. You are cross with the British Diabetes Association which is now Diabetes UK. This site is not their site [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/about.html[/url] I don't know what DUKs views are on this, I can't see the word diabetic being used freely on their website. You could contact them [url]http://www.diabetes.org.uk/About_us/Contact_us/[/url] and ask them their views on this. The Australian Diabetes association has a very clear position statement on the language used in diabetes and the very first word they discuss is 'diabetic' [URL='http://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/PageFiles/18417/11.09.20%20DA%20position%20statement.pdf']http://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/PageFiles/18417/11.09.20 DA position statement.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
