Hi Everyone,
I have just joined the forum. My name is Stuart Moore and l live in the Milton Keynes area, (and yes!!! we do have a lot of round-a-bouts and still have the concrete cows). Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hello Stuart Moore, I want to be supportive yet I'm concerned that the link to your website is incomplete eg food), who is the Petition for? It drags me into zones of social media where I can't opt out of cookies and generally leaves me uncomfortable. You tell us that your business partner has T2; what is your own connection to D? What are you hoping to get from this initiative? I can block you from what I can see on this Forum.

I am tempted to "report your post" to D UK and let them decide if you are a legitimate and genuine resource.

I didn't look at the link because I am always suspicious of anyone new posting a link straight off, so I reported it, especially as it mentioned a business interest. I see that admin has edited the post and removed the link.

Perhaps the OP can explain a bit more about why they joined the forum.

Hi - Thank you for your comments and I understand your points. Your quite right we still have work to do on the website especially in the food arena. We are looking at this now. As for the cookies, again I take your point, but all sites have to have an opt-out of cookies clause.
My own connection to D is that on medical advice I'm changing my diet, doing a planned exercise & fitness routine to avoid becoming D. I got to the forum after speaking on the chat line and asking who I could speak to regarding a couple of projects we are organising. (an Expo and to supply diabetic supplies to people in war torn Gaza). Via the chat line I was advised to register on the forum and do a quick intro. Once I had the intro I could ask the questions and get direct feedback and advice.
I think maybe I should call the organisation and speak to them directly before I put my foot further in the mire and go from there..
