Follow-ups set, since this is now moving to a UPD matter.

If you
want more info look at www.diabetes.org.uk or read the diabetes
newsgroups uk.people.support.diabetes or alt.support.diabetes.uk
(which is where the OP should have made his post originally imho).

Ah! This is how moderation would work, is it? You wouldn't have let me
post the foregoing on your moderated disability group. You'd have
insisted on it going elsewhere. But I think it more useful to put it in
front of people who are not dedicated specialists in diabetic matters
rather than in front of those who are already deeply involved. In this
group I can exercise my judgement. In your world of moderation, I can't.

No Don, the idea is that someone points the posters to another group
if they think they could get more support from that group then the
groups they had posted it to. I see no reason (perhaps apart from
cross posting) why the original article could not be accepted on a
uk.people.disability.moderated group, if one were to exist at all. I
was attempting to be helpful, I didn't really think you would respond
with a comment like this.

This is only scratching the surface, and I am sure that someone more
knowledgable than me will be along to give you more advice.

I'd already given the advice before you posted your scratchings.

You certainly did, but on the bread issue, not the issue to which I
responded, which you cut out of your reply. The posted to which I
replied wanted to know why someone he knew did not have to take any
medication for their condition at all, which is why I responded with
the simplistic answer, giving more pointers if they wished to find out
more details on the matter.

Andrew.
