People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
If he goes on to insulin they must give him a meter and tell him about dvla requirements to test pre driving and 2 hourly at least.
They also need to find away to get him out of his negativity towards his health. I would be mentioning this at the appt and telling him bluntly that diabetes and injections is not yhe end of the world... Better than losing your sight or legs. This appt is the best place to mention this... Diabetes does not mean dying... It could give him a new lease of life if he let it and accepted it and did something about it.
