[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2376110, member: 41816"] Most of my interactions about diabetes occur via the computer screen. a person with diabetes = 22 keystrokes Diabetic = 8 keystrokes Have diabetes = 13 keystrokes It is a pity if people get offended by my economies of effort, but the reality is that I’m not going to add a whole load of extra (unnecessary) typing, especially when it makes zero difference to the intention of my post, and any reader can easily mentally insert the extra keystrokes, if they wish. Regarding the labelling issue, I don’t see the problem. Labels (as [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] so eloquently said above), labels are social shorthand (as well as typing shorthand). We all use labels multiple times a day, in multiple ways. Good grief, imagine if we didn’t? I for one would refuse to touch the keyboard if I had to type everything out in full, avoiding conventional social shortcuts like keto, prick testing, CGMs, macros, carb ratios, pens, Tories, Covid, jabs, zapping a sensor... etc. etc. [/QUOTE]
