Type One diabetes is an auto immune condition that sufferers have no control over getting and cannot be cured from. 10% of diabetes sufferers have type one and it is chronic and incurable, they are insulin dependent and would die within days without it.

Type two diabetes is mainly preventable and can be reveresed through diet and exercise.

Please stop say 'diabetes' and lumping the two conditions together. They have similar symptoms but very different causes. People with type one diabetes are not a drain on the NHS, they are very ill people who need life saving medication and treatment.

They got me through being diagnosed type2,seven years ago.I was scared to death when i was told.gave me loads of info etc.

hmmmm, not sure I like the phrase drain on the NHS, it implies this disease is needlessly wasting a lot of money. Personally I would say the NHS is keeping most diabetics alive when otherwise they would die in a year or two from their illness, whilst elsewhere transgender ops, boob jobs and designer vaginas are the real drain :disappointed:

heat for a great cause.nice post :smile:

should note the £3 delivery good find OP

Postage- £3

Thank you! Even with £3 delivery cost, it makes these stupidly cheap! Me and my partner are starting to get into fitness so these are cheap and useful! Heat added!

good find op, heat added

No xxxl left?

£1 for type 1. I can support that one.

I'd love to wear this as the cafe stuffing my face with brownies.

Running vests also

Don't want to put a downer on a good cause, but where exactly is the money going? -into the pockets of the managers?
The only research that comes to fruition is from and private companies/facilities funding themselves. Diabetes UK as far as I know only raise awareness.

Great to see £sd return! So the original price was 34 pounds 8 shillings and 3 pence? Bargain at only 8 shillings and 4 pence plus postage :man:

Brilliant. Great cause. Ordered
l

Sweet deal!

Wobble into Costa wearing this and pour 15 sugars into your Espresso and see the looks you get !

Wake up, awareness is wasted on the majority of people, until such time you are in that situation.

anyone having problems getting to payment page??

heat added, bought couple of them!

As there are no large, I've gone for a medium - that's an incentive to lose weight before I get the bike out again!

Thanks Mintyman. Bought 2 cycling vests, 2 t shirts and a set of measuring spoons for me, a t shirt for my dad and mirror for my mum. Total £10 delivered. Voted hot.

Have to say though, I have lived with type 1 diabetes for 20 years and have been quite lucky with my health. I have lost friends to diabetes complications, another friend now totally blind, and another lost his foot a few months ago and looks like he will be losing his leg now. I feel bad that we are a drain on the NHS, it isn't our choice, or indeed our intention.

To be fair it could say "I'm a ****" on the front and would still be a deal for £1. Bottom of the barrel jerseys are usually at least £10.

I got a couple of cycling jerseys and running vests and the total was £7. For workout wear that's pretty stonking value.

Maybe you're the one who needs to wake up? Nobodys milking you for their £1 cycling jerseys.

ta op! love the fold up water bottle ideal for the car/shopping/travel bag etc!!

The vest is perfect for for the beach. All I need now is a collection tin. Ideas? :man:

also kids puppy pens £1.39 was £1.99 nice to add to order!

Good spot, a couple of tech tee's for sports ordered, a cycling top, various other things. £10 spend. Bargain.

just bought a couple of cycling shirts a couple of running vests and tee shirts, all at £1 each, and postage was per order not per item. £8 all in. heat added. thanks OP!

Thanks, ordered £10 worth of stuff.

Thanks ordered various bits but the t-shirts are a bargain!

Only XS left now :disappointed:

I would very much agree that type 2 diabetes is a drain on the nhs!
It is far more common than type 1 and pretty much completely preventable. It is very much associated with obesity and and over indulgence which in itself is classed as a huge drain on the nhs.
You wouldn't argue that smoking related illness was not a drain.
If you knowingly or willingly cause a preventable illness and then expect others to foot the bill, then that my friend is a 'drain' on resources.
Put the cake down and go for a walk!

Not complaining , but just a note so that you're aware. Once they run out of stock (and they probably did within 10 minutes of this being posted) they won't contact you to let you know, they'll just keep your money and not send you anything.

I bought items within minutes of the previous diabetesUK post being posted, and never received half the stuff, and they also don't respond to emails .

Feel awful saying this about a charity , but this department of the charity is poorly run

They have Technical Tshirts and Running vests too

Nice. Just bought 3 of the tech t-shirts.

For all the moaners, did you know people with diabetes get free prescriptions as well!! Talk about having my cake and eating it.

Any idea what the chest sizes the tech tops are? I'm normally a small but sometimes sports tops are over or under generous

Nice price for this cycling jersey, got one, thanks.

What is your source for this comment? As I understand, there is no solid proof that type 2 can be reversed.

Thanks OP, got a few bits and pieces. Some of the comments on here though are sheer ignorance. Maybe if they had a young child of 17months with type 1 they wouldnt find "diabetes" a laughing matter.

Cheers, vest will be of use when running instead of finding other ways to let people know you're diabetic (should something bad happen). Diabetic and run...i know right?!

Sorry, poor choice of words, in some cases it can be reversed;

http://www.diabetes.co.uk/reversing-diabetes.html

Reversal or remission are terms used when somebody has managed there type 2 diabetes to the point where they no longer need medication.

True, all diabetics that take medicine in their management of diabetes get free prescriptions.

both the £1 t-shirts & cycling tops are very good quality

wish I'd ordered more now (I was lucky that I ordered before it was posted here so got in before the rush)

colours are awful though so may wear them under something else

just got my order - super fast delivery only placed it yesterday morning... now thinking that wearing the t-shirts and vest will make everyone think I have or had diabetes....

have ordered couple of cycling jerseys and couple of running t-shirts/vest. have received only t-shirts/vest :disappointed: they are good quality but i actually needed jerseys.

My whole order has been cancelled according to the email I have received.

Similar issue here.

I ordered a tee but they sent a vest. I called them up and they said they sent the vest instead because there was no tees

My order didn't arrive, so I raised a query yesterday. Just received an email saying they'd sold out, and would be issuing a refund. Have to wonder what would have happened if I hadn't queried it ....

Managed to get what I ordered. Nice fit too. Cheers op

Well mine did turn up as one vest, 2 t shirts and a yo yo - none of them being the 3 cycling tops I wanted. Won't be ordering from them again.

I've

I didn't get the jersey's I ordered either, just the t-shirt and vest.

Did you get a partial refund?

You're lucky. I didn't even get a response from them when I contacted them.

Didn't get anything. Naff.
