Some background on this first. In one
of my newsletters from the ADA, I received information about a
meeting of the Diabetes Organizations and some patient groups with
the FDA. There was a survey link included to take a survey probably
designed by the ADA or FDA, but there was at least one area for open
comments which I made full use of in laying out many things we as
diabetes patients need.
This blog references a great blog by
Scott Strumello, which alone is worth the read, and then gives the
link for the survey. This survey should be considered important and
be completed.
I realize that diabetes forums need
rules. I did post a thread about the information and encouraging
people to take the survey. Here is what I was told - “We cannot
permit surveys of any kind, in part (the part that most applies to
this particular survey) because there is no way we can verify their
authenticity. Surveys can be, and have been, used for marketing
research, student homework, or phishing.”
Okay, the forum has a blanket rule
forbidding any post about surveys even one this important. For forum
members, this forbidding of this one does little to help the members
learn about dealing with the FDA.
I hope many of my readers that are
residents in the USA will complete the survey.
