My personal response to the DiabetesUK slideshow from YouTube. I set out the reasons why I think current DiabetesUK policy is promoting diabetes incidence and maintaining diabetics dependency on drugs. I believe DiabetesUK should be making greater efforts to educate people to lower the risk of diabetes and should also be aiming to reduce diabetics reliance on drug use.

1. BUT none reduce risk none reduce adverse effects

2. After 75yrs of DiabetesUK we see increasing incidence of Diabetes. Is the information DiabetesUK provides contributing to this? Are DiabetesUK unwittingly Promoting diabetes incidence? Maintaining drug dependence?

3. Prostate and Breast cancers rates Compare Diabetes incidence rates with Perhaps similar rates of increase indicate linked causes ​?

4. But There is evidence virus infection in the development of Type I diabetes

12. Vitamin D Deficiency and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Low vitamin D associated with higher risk of a fatal CVD event, particularly cerebrovascular death.

13. You can't alter genetic risk factors But you may tell people Reduced refined carbohydrate intake Corrected Vitamin D3 deficiency status Increased exercise are all associated with lower Diabetes incidence.

15. Vitamin D Deficiency Prevalent in Children With Chronic Kidney Disease Vitamin D deficiency& insufficiency are highly prevalent in Chronic kidney disease. Low 25D levels affect mortality independently of vascular calcification and stiffness, 25(OH)D influences survival in CKD patients. We should correct vitamin d insufficiency.

16. What causes being overweight? Why isn't current medical advice working?

18. YouTube - Sugar: The Bitter Truth In this video Robert Lustig explains why fructose metabolism leads to weight gain .

19. Does excessive fructose intake cause type 2 diabetes? Sugar and HFCS main source of fructose. Fructose sales match diabetes increase . Fructose raises uric acid Uric acid predicts Diabetes Environment and genes act affect individual response to fructose. In previous generations large amount of fructose only available seasonally when vitamin D status was high. Sugar sales diabetes incidence

20. The Diabetes Diet: Dr. Bernstein's Low-Carbohydrate Solution . Control diabetes with a low carbohydrate high fat diet Keep 25(OH)D status above 55ng/ml 135nmol/l Examples and more research and articles here When glucose is poison, it's better to eat fat.

21. Is DiabetesUK simply promoting diabetes as a lifestyle choice? Is DiabetesUK actually trying to reduce Diabetes incidence? Where is DiabetesUK : a) applying low carbohydrate knowledge? b) making Vitamin D3 / Diabetes research available? c) warning of the fructose /Diabetes link? I
