I do disagree with the name walking deficiency syndrome, but thats thanks to the media thats what everyone thinks of the word diabetes. As a type one, I have been told more frequently than I should have that 'I am too skinny to be diabetic' or 'at your age?'. I wouldn't mind a new name for type 1 to be honest because a lot of people don't take it as seriously as it should be.Time for the broadcast: 30mins<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08k12p2#play" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08k12p2#play</a>Sorry for the broadcast name, the main topics were the ones listed, although lets hear it for the gem at 52 minutes! Absolutely hilarious!Edit: just want to clarify, I do understand that a lot of people are predisposed for it, or it is not diet related. But until a year ago I was with the crowd, the only diabetic I know was a family member who definitely caused it by diet and lifestyle.</blockquote>
