[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 1643129, member: 456748"] I am grateful right at this moment because it stops me eating the entire tin of ginger biscuits from IKEA that are in front of me in one go. And on the "less sucky" things to have - I also have severe hearing loss (it's really bad) and even though I have super duper hearing aids, I spend a lot of my day asking people to repeat themselves, smiling inanely as though I'm following what they're saying, and possibly agreeing to do something I had no idea I was agreeing to. I imagine most people who meet me think I'm incredibly rude and/or have more than a screw loose. Avoiding the ginger biscuits doesn't provoke the same level of reaction... But that is my particular diabetes. My mum had type 1 and I watched her inject enormous syringes of insulin in the '80s; I wouldn't wish that on anyone. [/QUOTE]
