Diabetes UK Reviews 

Up to 20% of Type 1 diabetics use levemir in the UK and this is being discontinued next year for the sole purpose that the company can make more weight loss drugs over insulin - a production line argument. This is hugely distressing for type 1s who will have to spend 100s of hours getting used to a new/old insulin that will create new blind spots on their daily glucose. This is on top of the disease that is already distressing.

There is next to little campaigning by Diabetes UK to protect people on this medication, they appear uninterested. It's a charity that only cares about fun runs that aren't curing type 1 diabetes any faster while insulin choice is being reduced in this country and globally.

If they aren't going to fight for us, who are they exactly?

sent me wrong item sent cheap bag instead of blood tester

I phoned them for advice but they wont help me. They said "go to your GP" which they are so useless.

"Over 80,000 members"! At £3 per month that's a quarter million a month! How is this "charity" helping diabetics? Nexus GlucoRx test strips available in their shop for a VAT FREE price of £20.40 per box of 50! Same item available WITH VAT from Amazon for £17.15 or £16.45 by subscription. Price before VAT £13.71. Disgusting!

Have dealt with this charity for years and are both very informative and very helpful.

They are the bona fide registered diabetes UK charity. Another organisation called diabetes.co.uk appear to be trying to pass themselves off as the same charity, but please be wary as diabetes.co.uk is first and foremost a private, money making operation and their very poor Trust Pilot reviews speak for themselves.
