[am64]

nothing from mr littlewood yet but...once we get the press release etc ready i know where Mr Mcdonald uk lives and can hand deliver a letter .....

 

[SacredHeart]

Hah! That'll show em. We know where they live!

 

[am64]

Hah! That'll show em. We know where they live!

now now SH no mass demonstrations !!! heheee (yet)
my thoughts are to approach McDonalds with the problem and see if we can get them ON BOARD (with promoting the campaign) I am sure they wouldnt like to be seen to not be doing anything, as this is all about raising awareness...and the choices of sugarfree beverages xxx

 

[SacredHeart]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

BTW, when I get home from work, I will be writing you a long email of things that have been going around my head today!

I like the last logo best, and the first logo is a close second.

@Becky - What NICE guidelines are you looking for?

Hello again,

Backtracked and found the questions 🙂

WHO Diabetic figures
http://www.who.int/diabetes/facts/world_figures/en/

NHS Diabetic Figures
http://www.diabetes.nhs.uk/news.php?id=74

1 in 5 UK hospital patients has diabetes
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7061633/One-in-five-hospital-patients-has-diabetes.html

The BBC also say the number has topped 2 million, with another 1 million undiagnosed. Theres a good breakdown of the figures for England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland from 2005 at the following link (3rd last paragraph): http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4204830.stm

More useful stuff here, including it costs 6 times more to treat a diabetic patient in hospital than a non-diabetic!
http://www.bddiabetes.co.uk/cgi-bin...DC+Documents/DB1480B55977328100256E35005C8E1F


Also Surveymonkey is good for surveys and PollDaddy does free poll's and surveys.

Hope these help,

NiVZ

[SacredHeart]

Oooh, that's pretty good. At work we use Simoney Badges. I should check how much the last bunch we had done were.

 

[NiVZ]

@am64 - you wouldn't have 'borrowed' that glass logo from the loading screen of AOL email by any chance would you 😛

[edit] actually just checked and theirs is smaller, and grey coloured 😉 [/edit]

Had another look at NICE, and they seem to post guidelines and not facts and figures.

They do however point to the NHS Library which had this article on how diabetes is set to double in children

[am64]

[am64]

[SilentAssassin1642]

i like the bottom one am

speaking of diet coke. I have some right now...a whole pint of it 😱

 

[Northerner]

I prefer the second image am🙂

 

[SacredHeart]

I've been thinking that we might want to try and abbreviate this. How does DieDrA sound to people? There's nothing online for any organisation with that. Diedra? Also, you can get Diedra.co.uk for ?5 for a year. I'm thinking website for reasons that will become clear once I get home
