People that feel just because diabates is a life-threatening "illness" it should be treated with kid gloves and nobody is allowed to have a laugh. My humour got me through abuse, near death experiences, serious and debilitating illnesses and lifelong pain and deformity - why give up the thing that works??

One of these days I'll read a post which says

"I did as I was told by my medical professionals, ate a low fat high carb diet and got better"

I've been waiting for this for hundreds of years now <G>

Seriously, congratulations, you're well on the way.
