All,
I watched a program on TV last night about people that are really overweight. It was either ITV or BBC but I believe it was BBC1.
One of the people on there was an extremely overweight T2 (I'm T1) and he was moaning about his diabetes and saying that it has attacked all of his body and as a result he's lost the sight in one eye, lost one of his toes etc...the picture that was painted was that once you get diabetes your are going to fall apart. This would have frightened anyone that had recently been diagnosed.
What the fat idiot failed to tell people was that he ate like a pig and didn't do anything to keep his control good - just get's on my nerves when people use diabetes as an excuse for letting themselves get ill - especially when there are children and other people with diseases that they have no chance of controlling.
