Shoot Up awards

[Tim]

I’m toying with the idea of giving out some end-of-year awards. Obviously these will be related to diabetes (that really is obvious) but I wonder if you have any suggestions as to categories for awards? What about “Best diabetes gadget”, “best diabetes charity”, “diabetic of the the year”, etc.

We will probably have defamation issues if we have something like “UK’s worst healthcare trust” but do stick them in the thread below – it’ll be fun!

Most useless news article? (Then you’re not defaming the newspaper/carrier, or the journalist, just the article…but I dont know how that stuff works)

[Alison]

To keep the lawyers happy you could have “Best example of useless diabetes care” – then you can still marvel at their ineptitude without ending up in prison for defaming them.

Most idiotic piece of diabetes advice
Diabetes cure of the year – the most ridiculous cure story of the last 12 months

I do like the way you’re focusing on the negative – very much the Shoot Up way

Errrrrrrm…

“Best Self-Inflicted Diabetes Catastrophe”
“Hypo of the Year”
“The Crikey! Award” for the most surprising/awe-inspiring/astonishing achievement despite (or because of) D
“Best Diabetic U-Turn” for the person who, ahem, said they were never ever ever going on a pump, ever. And currently has one attached…

Following @megs line….
“Lowest blood sugar self-treated and corrected” – bonus marks for doing housework or carefully selecting the correct colour fruit pastille first.
