[QUOTE="snowleopard, post: 1645387, member: 303754"] No, I don't mean are you in a wheelchair but do you regard your diabetes as a disability? I recall a news item a few months ago where a person with T1D gave up work because they regarded diabetes management as a full time job. A similar news article cropped up yesterday where a young woman with a stoma (external bag for collection of bowel contents) was complaining that people wouldn't give up disabled seats on public transport for her. So my question is: do you regard diabetes as a disability that restricts your life or makes you eligible for special treatment. When I was first diagnosed (in my 60s) several medical professionals were solicitous about my mental health. Does your condition make you depressed, anxious or cause other mental health problems?
