Hi!
Since I was diagnosed with type 2 just over a year ago I felt I was pretty alone. However, I found out that several members of staff at the local council where I work are also diabetics and we have started our own little support group. At my suggestion we always greet each other the same way, by asking "how are your feet?"
It's our own sort of 'masonic handshake' in that we know what it means and its significance to our condition but non-diabetics won't have a clue what we're on about! So when passing each other in the corridor it's cool to ask "how are your feet?" and revel in the puzzled looks of our colleagues
Anyway, I reckon we ought spread the word - so, diabetics of the world unite!! from now on whenever you meet a fellow diabetic greet them by asking "how are your feet" and tell them to do the same whenever they meet another fellow diabetic!! Let's see if we can get this to go viral among the diabetic community!!
