[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 605931, member: 6467"] Well, I see no reason that a diabetic who is not on medication and has good control should react any differently from a non-diabetic under those circumstances. To quote [url]http://www.mendosa.com/blog/?p=1026[/url] "Well managed diabetes is the leading cause of NOTHING" My BG control is good, my immune system is good, I heal well, I am fit, I am slim. Perhaps not the typical T2 if you believe the figures, but I don't feel the need to wear something to suggest that I am at special risk because I don't believe that I am. If in doubt ask your GP or DSN if you are at particular risk when out and about, or involved in an accident. If they advise that you should wear ID saying that you are diabetic, then go for it. If they say you are not at risk then don't add any complications for the people who are trying to assist you. Cheers LGC [/QUOTE]
