[QUOTE="jimmyt1988, post: 148012, member: 20899"] Try to understand. I don't want to see people being perdantic about the word disability... It is in a way a disability, It's a disability because as a diabetic person you cannot just up sticks and get going, its a chore, its a minefield if you forget injections, driving means you must do a bloodtest before going, it becomes part of your life, inescapable, and irrepairable. It's not that easy and certainly for the younger generation... and even for me! And i've certainly always been told to understand it like that. I'm not usually this ferocious but as you can see, It's been biting away at me. It does disable my freedom, Can I move to a house and live on my own, I sure can but it's a terrible risk If i have a hypo.. There's so many factors that it seems so unfair to be perdantic over calling it a disability. Please don't take such things as "disables ability to regualte bla bla" so literally, I'm trying to say that in a way, it really is a disability. So I try to go back to the issue. I feel that after all the bloomin' bother of 14 years of diabetes, or even 2 months.. when i goto a theme park, or something you pay money for and want to enjoy like everyone else... It seems like a reasonable request to just say "Look, dont worry about having to queue, it must be pretty annoying to have to think about it all the time, so dammit, just enjoy yourself, take the Effing huge weight of your shoulders". I respect that you are all fine with coping and feel you dont want to be classed as disabled and I have no issues with that but when I write a post about how I feel the staff reacted to my needs and also that it was difficult to get the band when I personally feel I deserve a break from the hassle, I am surprised you cannot understand it. No it's not chessingtons fault i am diabetic, but neither is it mine, so give me a break, I deserve it, and so do you. [/QUOTE]
