Do they have a low fat garlic bread recipe to go with that?

Or ...How to make a pizza even worse for diabetics.

Why would anyone (diabetic or not) want to put potato on top of a pizza when there are so many wonderful pizza toppings out there already?

DUK really are trying to encourage people to be diabetic aren't they?

Hence why I put it in the jokes section (File as a sick joke! )

I reckon we could fill a whole joke book with DUK recipes!!

This has to be one of the worst surely? Most pizza toppings are fine for diabetics, so that's the bit DUK decide to change? Even a few chunks of pineapple wouldn't be as bad as a whole pizza full of potato. Unbelievable!

Absolute insanity

Seriously, in my opinion DUK are a criminal outfit, they reduce the length and quality of life of diabetics for money. Money from their big pharma sponsors. They are no better than drug dealers keeping people hooked on drugs. What sickens me is the fact that people donate money to them and countless volunteers work for free, to keep DUK employees in a well paid job (checkout their annual reports). Year after year the audited NHS stats prove more and more people are becoming diabetics and zero progress whatsoever is being made in the all important BG levels.

They are so smug with their we are the experts attitude, look at this way 1. They are completely clueless and do not know how much damage they do. 2. They do know and don't care. Either way they are not fit for purpose, are a complete disgrace and should be prosecuted. One thing cannot be denied, they have sent thousands possibly millions to an early grave.

BTW Hat tip to Two Collies for the link to weapon of mass destruction, I'm on the case on twitter busy day ahead methinks.

Ah but you can't complain because it's LOW FAT!!!

I can't remember, and don't really want to look, at how DUK explain things but the ADA used to have a page entitled Eat More Starch! At least they explained if you did you "may have to adjust your medication", ie. increase it a lot, but hey it was to protect your heart from all that arterycloggingsaturatedfat. yeah right, CVD is correlated to A1c starting from "normal" numbers of below 5 and increasing linearly, and several of their recommended drugs have since been banned for raising cardiovascular risk, but who cares about health when sponsorship is at stake?
