Gosh, what a heated debate...lol....I just don't believe that diabetes is a reason for anything-unless you are an amputee etc.....I personally don't agree with people seeing it as a disability full stop!!! I been diabetic type 1 25 years+ and I have never seen it as a reason for not doing anything.......
In todays society it is now seen as human rights, discrimination, disability etc....at the end of the day, I just don't see it as any of those unless there are complications (as mentioned). The majority of us want to live a good, happy life without a label being upon us....thinking that diabetes is a disability of any sort is wrong.
When working, I never took a day off sick, time off for appointments etc because I thought I would be putting employers off from employing more diabetics in the future.....if we label ourselves as diabetic for driving and needing exemptions for this, that and the other...how the heck are diabetics going to get jobs etc in the future.
My rant I know is nothing much to do with parking illegally, but it makes me absolutely mad that people can see diabetes as a way to anything to do with disabilitys......those that see it as a way to disability funding of any description make it bad for the rest of us trying to live as normal, every day human beings.....rant over
