Your ignorant comments cause hurt, bullying and misinformation and you should be ashamed to call yourself a doctor. Especially after you were given the opportunity to rectify your mistake and actually made it worse.

Best [Signature #449] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13284579?utm_medium=rss Doctors in the media have a special responsibility to give clear and accurate information about diseases. Sadly, this is especially important in the current climate of setting public opinion against people who are chronically ill or disabled through no fault of their own, such as Type 1 Diabetes.
If a doctor misinforms their own patient, that's just the one person affected, but inaccurate information via any medium, TV, radio, press, internet, etc. has the potential to misinform millions, this has known dire consequences for patients and their families.
We have seen that some doctors do seem to deliberately misinform the public via the media to suit their own agenda, but I am sure that Dr. Jarvis does not fall into this category, and so I am sure she, The One Show and the BBC will make sure that this mistake is rectified and compensated for.
Sometimes TV/media doctors are given misinformation by others with vested interests, and so pass that on unwittingly.
We also know that information from the Science Media Centre is unreliable, perhaps this has been part of the problem here, in which case, another lesson to be learned by reporters who want to report facts.
