People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
Depression is about twice as common among people with diabetes than the general population, affecting at least 15% of people with diabetes.

While depression in and of itself is a problem if left untreated, depression can also have a negative impact on diabetes self-management, blood sugar control, and the potential for complications. If you are feeling depressed, be sure to tell your health care provider. There are steps you can take to feel better.

Depression and anxiety is also associated with GOOD blood sugar control. (ref: Bryden, K., Peveler, R. C., Stein, A., Neil, A., Mayou, R. A., Dunger D.B. (2001) ‘Clinical and Psychological Course of Diabetes From Adolescence to Young Adulthood’ Diabetes Care 24 1536-1540)

Woo hoo, dontcha just love it. :roll:

On the other hand, diabetics are all very interesting people with fascinating takes on life. (ref: Snodger, this forum, 2010).
