They're a great bunch of people, both on their support desk, sales and their PR people.
I've ordered before and everything arrives in tip-top condition and their books and information sheets are excellent, only thing I'd steer clear of is the Worrel whats his name book, the recipes are too fussy for my taste. The other recipe books are first class, real food adapted for diabetics!

Hi Steff
I have bought from Diabetes UK on a semi-regular basis and never had any problems.
If you are not sure that the books are exactly what you want try looking in your local library first, they can always order them in if they don't currently have them.

I had stuff from diabetesuuk and it was brilliant. I agree look in local library for books to check before you buy. If the library doesn't have the book then most of them can get it for you.
I gave diaries to everyone Christmas 2007 and got one for myself for 2009 and find it very usefull.
Until you try something, you don't know so give it a try. I think you'll be pleasently surprised...

If you have either a Borders or Waterstones locally then I found quite a few Diabetes UK books there that I could browse through before I ordered them. Can be easier than getting to a library for some
Like Einstein, I'd steer clear of the Worrell Thompson ones - rather "chef-y" for day-to-day use. I've been given both and I've never made anything from either. My copy of Sheila Bowling's "Everyday Diabetic Cookbook" is very well used

It depends on what you like to cook and how much messing about you want to do. In our house I am the one who makes sauce from scrtach because it tastes better than the packet stuff. I think it's all down to personal taste and you need to gind something you feel comfortable with.
Steff, if you've time and they've got it in, have a look at in Hanas and Fox's book "Type 2 diabetes for adults of all ages" for general information on diabetes too. Published last year - I found it very helpful
