p2pnet news view | TV:- Disney has yanked a dodgy Miley Cyrus / Hannah Montana episode dealing with diabetes, catchily entitled No Sugar, Sugar.

“During the scriptwriting stage of the Hannah Montana episode in question, the matter of depicting a character with diabetes was reviewed by our Standards and Practices executives who consulted with medical experts to inform the story and ensure that it was told responsibly,” says ContactMusic, quoting the New York Daily News.

But, “Notwithstanding the measures we took, and based on the episode’s preview and early feedback from parents (who saw it on Subscription Video on Demand and/or mobile platforms), we removed the episode from Sunday’s schedule and are now reevaluating it,” it says.

Parents who saw a preview objected to the content, says Digital Spy.
