Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="greybags" data-source="post: 148774" data-attributes="member: 12555">I've been a diabetic for many years, and carry on with a fairly normal day to day life, with a lot of control and a few problems.But if someone wants to class me as disabled, then fine by me, it's only a title, and I dont really care one way or another, a Rose by any other name etc etc But if being classed as disabled provides a bit of assistance for someone at university, or perhaps a Blue Parking badge for those not so active, or helps cut people some slack to take work breaks, or any other non monetary benefits, like being able to short cut a queue, then I say bring it all on.You may not feel like you are, but why deny you have a condition that has been classed as a disability and that affects your life.Although some don't need the help that is offered, many do, and if too many start shouting that diabetics are not disabled, somebody somewhere may actually  listen, and take away the help that is available to those that do need it, and the more help that is offered can only be a good thing.</blockquote>
