Does a rapist or paedophile deserve to treated with such compassion? No. Not all humans are equal. I'm not talking about equality and comparing me to a fascist and instigator of a holocaust is **** right disgusting! I'm not suggesting people should die, I'm not suggesting they have no right to...

Wholeheartedly disagree, my opinion. I appreciate you too have one, and I respect that. I just don't and probably will never agree with what you are saying.

No sympathy for Type 2's who have brought it on themselves badge, yes definitely. As I said before, I know there are exceptions. Maybe I should change my written opinion to Dislikes: Type 2's who have brought it on themselves. And Angie, yes I did write that, meaning that people assume us Type...

I did say I know there are some exceptions, I said hereditary as an example not a full stop. After click click clicking on profiles of some Type 2's on here I can see some people list their exercise as "walking to the car." Not helping any opinions is it! The one time I had an unexpected hypo at...

Is type 2 not generally caused by lifestyle? In all of it's variations. I have someone close to me that is Type 2, and can honestly hand on heart say it was her fault she developed the disease. To me, that's appalling. That is something she could have avoided. It was only the other day I was...

Maybe have a word about the illustrations, no?

Hahaha have you read anything I've written? Looks like you're Type 2 and (Post edited for personal attack)

Personally I just don't see how the relation between Type 1 and Type 2 is at all similar and don't particularly appreciate any Type 2 input. I'm very set in my ways about that opinion. I'm very comfortable with others opinion's, I wouldn't have posted such a thread had that not been the case. I...

Okay, well then my question wasn't aimed for Type 2's :)

Also, isn't this part of the forum for people with type 1...?

Hahaha this actually made me laugh out loud. I think this whole thread has got a little heated, sorry for ruffling everyones feathers! In response to Cugila, just because you can do something doesn't mean everyone can. I have always taken care of my blood sugar whilst at the wheel as I'm sure...

It's all relative. It all links in one way or another. Your experiences may not reflect the experiences of others. They certainly do not reflect mine.

Exactly. I'm not suggesting we should all have badges, it's something I put out there to see what opinions arose. I have in my short Diabetic life met people who think it's a right we should have. I am swayed both ways. Obviously if you know you're hypo you wouldn't drive to the shop. I drive to...

This seems to be the point that many are missing. I agree with what you are saying, and I believe most of us who drive are responsible. Again, we can all be caught unaware, what I want to know is that if this happens, we won't be persecuted against. I'm pretty sure that for those who disagree...

That's fair enough, but in my opinion prosecuted means persecuted in this matter... Tight control means you are as normal as someone without Diabetes, control that is not tight means you are at risk of complications that are going to cost the tax-payer in NHS expenses. Where does it stop? I can...

In many people's eyes it does mean a disability. I wouldn't class it that way at all. I appreciate that you would've dealt with the situation accordingly had you stopped to talk to someone, but can you also appreciate that for some Policemen and women this isn't the case? Most of the time there...

To cugila - It's not about my argument washing, I don't think it's a necessity for Type 1 Diabetics to have a disabled badge at all, I have never had a hypo at the wheel and always check my blood sugar before I drive and several times if I'm on a long journey. We all know that hypos can happen...

Yeah that's understandable, but what I mean is that a bad hypo can affect mobility, not that they are a common occurrence for me but I am aware of how debilitating they can be. Also, for instance you have a few hypos on a long journey and haven't got enough supplies with you to correct it, you...

After doing much reading and scrolling through the forum I came across a thread called "Am I disabled?". It's always been something I have wondered about and myself like many other on here have always ticked "no" in the disability boxes. However, with all the new restrictions from the DVLA...

Wow you must be feeling pretty pants. They've put you on the same as what I had when I was first diagnosed. I didn't get on with it at all as I found it very inconvenient having to eat meals at set times so I pushed for the 4 a day injections, basically inject every time you eat. My bloods were...
