Click to expand...

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
 
this has grown by MANY PAGES since i went out 😱

whats the haps peeps?? what did i miss??
 
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

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