Fact or fiction? well probably both but nevertheless annoying. "Alright fat-bloke, yeah not surprising he's got diabetes",,,, I'm not trying to be offensive I'm just trying to make light of something I find really annoying. I have two older brothers then me and now my younger brother all diagnosed diabetic in our older age, NONE of us has ever been over weight so I really do hate the media constantly implying you must be a fat-bloke to be diabetic, isn't it a case of generalisation gone mad? not very helpful I think!
