They're having a bloody laugh at the expense of the very people they say they're 'Supposed' to have the backs of!
This is the situation with the people "supposed" to have our backs covered and work in our best interest.
From a recent blog post.
Black OP's outfits.
In the UK there are approximately four million diabetics. Around 90% are type two diabetics. The majority of type two diabetics could control their diabetes with a low carb higher healthy natural fat lifestyle. Medication if required, is usually minimal. Type one diabetics also benefit from low carb, by way of much reduced insulin usage, which very often leads to more stable control of blood glucose levels. The organisations below do not support or recommend a low carb diet. Therefore, blood glucose control, for the majority of diabetics is abysmal. It is clear to see why this horrendous situation has come about. Conflicts of interest.
Ask yourself, how long would large food companies and big pharma, financially support these organisations, if their dietary recommendations resulted in less sales, and loss of revenue. A low carb diet is not a no carb diet. The foods shown below, have been included in my low carb (50 carbs per day) diet for nine years. Countless hospital blood tests confirm, my diet has caused no ill effects whatsoever, in fact the contrary. My Doctor describes my diabetes control as excellent. It is worth noting, the NHS annual audited stats show, over 90% of type one diabetics and over 70% of type two diabetics, fail to get to a safe level of blood glucose control, let alone excellent.
Why do I call these organisations Black OP's outfits. It is my opinion, these organisations are doing diabetics great harm, and are perpetuating the epidemics of obesity and often linked type two diabetes. Many are no more than wolves in sheep clothing, far too many, have taken the thirty pieces of silver.

HbA1c > 10.0% (86 mmol/mol) = 18.1%
Percentage of registered Type 2 patients in England
HbA1c > 6.5% (48 mmol/mol = 72.5%
HbA1c > 7.5% (58 mmol/mol) = 32.6%
