Free eye tests. Free glasses. Free prescriptions. Having a good excuse to get out of P.E. at school - okay that's probably not a good thing but at the time I was on 2 injections a day and had no idea how to exercise without hypo'ing so my asthmatic friend and I would spend an hour walking the 1500m course instead of jogging. Made me happy at the time!
The diabetes knowledge helped me with my Standard Grade and Higher Biology exams. Having more knowledge about food has helped immensely as I'd live on chips and crisps given half the chance and knowing how bad this is for you stops me. I seem to get asked all the time about nutritional values in food and whilst I'm not an expert, at least I do have some kind of idea about carbs, absorption, etc. so I can help my family with it.
I like this topic, it's nice to have people say positive things instead of negatives all the time.
