[QUOTE="Robbieswan, post: 1621462, member: 443808"] Diabetes in the community works like this in my view. People see you like everyone else. Can you spot a diabetic person on a train?. If you are on crutches it's a fair assumption that you won't be running the hundred metres anytime soon. If you have facial birthmarks, then people look at you differently. People judge people on outward appearance, we are wired that way. We have no moral right to judge people, but we do. If someone offers you a biscuit, at that moment you are just like them. Devouring the tasty morsel with little or no concequenses. As soon as they know you are diabetic, then a different judgement book is opened. Bigoted? maybe, but I would rather go with preconceived ideas of what diabetes is. [/QUOTE]
