From Noblehead on Ian's DUK poll thread today...My bold and red highlighting.
"@IanD, I would have like to have seen more options available in the poll for those who don't LCHF or HCLF, there's many of us on the forum that sit somewhere in-between and eat both carbs and fat in moderation, the message would still be the same to Diabetes UK."

With respect Noblehead, why not start your own poll then ? The poll started here is pointless if we start putting loads of different options of varying degrees of low, moderate or high. The main focus is to change the current poor dietary advice and move with the times.
"So do we not want a poll to reflect all the members of this forum, there's two options there but it leaves an important one out, which is why many people may not be able to vote, hence why I've pointed this out to Ian."
And then...
"That's fine if your just wanting to get support for Dr Deakin's modified dietary advice, I thought your intentions were to make DUK change their stance on promoting a HCLF diet, perhaps by showing that people on this forum use other methods of dietary control (not just LCHF) would help to change hearts and minds at DUK.
So the other option I would have included is moderation, as Dr Deakin was promoting when she was talking at the Diabetes UK conference back in 2013.."
With the his final word...
"But then some haven't despite dietary changes, but lets not derail the thread any longer and let the poll run its course."
So there you have it,yet again a calm and well thought out poll thread involving DUK the charity is derailed by an anti despite the poll clearly being set up to lobby DUK re LCHF and Trudis latest findings and when replies aren't in his favour he pulls out the mods hat and calls for no more derailing despite it being him being the derailer!! Business as usual with DCUK and a few of it's staff members eh guys?!
