[QUOTE="anna29, post: 202156, member: 30936"] Hiya, can see what you mean, we are an individual person with a diabetes condition that creates and gives us symptoms, the diabetic is like a label medical term/jargon to discribe our condition. If someone starts to label a person as a diabetic it can leave a person feeling bit devalued? For example if my surgery [theyre wonderful] started to ever say we have anna the diabetic coming in it would hurt my feelings instead of [as they always do] we have anna coming in. Any help? Anna.x [/QUOTE]
