[QUOTE="JanetS, post: 148753, member: 24567"] Just to add my thoughts... I am newly diagnosed with T2; since Christmas Eve 2009. I take my medication and get on with life as I can. I try to forget I have it, and it's usually my Mum who reminds me (when thinking about food etc.) However, what has drawn my attention to this post is the bands offered by theme parks to Q jumpers for medical problems. I have mentioned before, and will say again, I have rheumatoid arthritis and peripheral neuropathy. These I cannot ignore as I am in daily pain. I try to walk (though I do have a Blue Badge), but often my toes flair up in excrutiating pain. (They are burning now, as I type.) My hands are fit for nothing after I've so much as hoovered my flat. If i have to queue in a busy supermarket I get distressed because my legs hurt. I am on so much medication a day, and even have to take top ups of prescription pain killers at times. But I get on with life. I work, albeit part time to cut down on workload and stress factors. Mum and I go out and about a lot, either sight seeing or on holidays. But I have never ever ever EVER thought of using these conditions to jump queues at places. In fact, I've never even thought about it, or even knew that you could! So I certainly wouldn't put my diabetes up as an excuse. I guess it's all about you/me/us as a person and what you want and expect out of life. [/QUOTE]
