I always have gone the extra mile to not let anybody see me as being less abled as them.I would be horrified if anyone saw me as disabled!! I am fitter than most non diabetics!!I admire young persons who also cope with thir diabetes and get jobs, the same as non diabetics. That is hard to do.Neither have I had it easy, and although no diabetic complications I have had chronic pain, B12 deficiency etc.We are all different, but a positive attitude and keeping to healthy weights and foods can enable better living... I cannot imagine being labeled as "diabled" my cousin years ago was a child that had disablement due to thalidomide... Now that was disabled..Sent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
