Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
Why do you ask?

I suspect very few do, but I don't know. Personally I don't regard T2 or T1 as a disability in the sense of needing benefit payments unless there is advanced organ damage?

There may be people who are on disability for other conditions and they also happen to have T2 diabetes.

I doubt T2 prevents people from working unless they have lost their feet and have gone blind etc.

I don't know any.

I have a medical exemption certificate which covers prescription costs and eye test fees but that is all.

I've no idea why you would need disability benefits for t2 alone - disability benefits are there to pay for carers etc. You might need them if you have complications eg amputations or blindness.
