EventsDiabetes UK promotes “scientific-based” top recipes for diabetics: cakes and brownies!
in Diabetes 
- Apple and cinnamon cake (made with wheat flour, 33.5 grams of carbs and 19.4 grams of sugar PER SLICE)
- Chocolate brownies (containing chocolate, maple syrup i.e. sugar and wheat flour)
- Pear and almond traybake (containing sugar and wheat flour)
Scientific and healthy?
Interestingly they claim that their recipes are…
…written by chefs and clinical advisors at Diabetes UK using current scientific-based evidence.
They also say that….
Did you know that there’s actually no such thing as a diabetic recipe? If you have diabetes, you can eat the healthy foods everyone else eats… our recipe finder is full of over 300 nutritious, quick and simple recipes you can make at home. All have been tested and cooked by a chef and nutritionally analysed by a registered dietitian.
Yeah.
So if you have diabetes, head over there and have their top sugar and flour-filled cakes and brownies. Remember, they are all nutritious and healthy and based on scientific evidence. So you can feel quite safe while spiking your blood sugar.
So who will gain the most from this? Abbott, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Takeda. Companies selling drugs to lower blood sugar for people with diabetes, and companies that are among the main sponsors of Diabetes UK.
Of course there’s no better way to raise your blood sugar and need to up your medication than eating cakes full of sugar and wheat flour.
Eat the Diabetes UK recommended cookies and you’ll benefit their sponsors, who can then afford to spend even more on sponsorship. Everyone wins. Except you.

The internet is awash with scientific papers and countless testimonies from diabetics who have found the correct diet has been their salvation. The correct diet for a diabetic is a whole fresh food lifestyle, eliminating sugar completely and minimising carbs that bring about elevated BG numbers. Type one diabetics often report following the correct diet, insulin use is drastically reduced, often down to a third of previous requirements. Many type two diabetics report zero requirements for medication, once again, following the correct diet.
It must be beyond all doubt DUK know this. The fact is, the DUK dietary recommendations guarantee higher blood glucose numbers for almost all diabetics, who in turn require more medication, from their main sponsors, big pharma companies. It is my opinion, and that of many others, DUK are not fit for purpose. They are at best highly negligent and at worst criminal.
