Different is differently difficult if you don't know your own different difference with your own different difference self :p
 
;) Bit of a tongue twister eh.
Wonder if Andy12345 can say or keep up with it ?

I have a horrible feeling that if I was to define exactly why "we're all different", my post would get longer and longer and I'd have to do more research so that I'd know what I was talking about. So just saying "we're different" is a nice global term that covers it all and as somebody has previously suggested, all sub types suggested apply to us all.
Personally I'm indifferent, except for when it comes to the correct spelling of there/their and the correct use of apostrophes. I'm even weird about spelling, thank you spell checker. But hey, we're all different (sub type spelling). LOL
Seriously, I had my tongue in my cheek nearly the whole time that I was typing.
 
We're all different. Check out the heads on these little ones..........................different.jpg

This Chinese mum has a trick: she shaves kids hair in numbers to tell them apart. How clever!
 
Hmmmmm. definitions! When I read 'We are all different' on a thread, I usually translate it to mean....'I won't do that because....' If I write 'we are all different' on a thread I mean..... 'I know some of you won't want to do this so I'm saving you the bother of telling me so' I suppose that means I'm indifferent, right?

I don't think that when I write it, or see it.

I guess we're all different. :)
 
Exactly! You and I are definitely different Douglas. :)

‘We are all different’ tends to be invoked rather often in forum threads, but people often use it to mean very different things. I have noticed the following different senses:
1. We have different types of diabetes, or were diagnosed at different times, or are at different stages of the condition’s development.
2. Our individual systems respond in slightly different ways to different foods (i.e. some foods spike our BGs whereas others seem to take them without ill effects)
3. We have different lifestyles/jobs, which means that certain types of diet or medication are more feasible for some of us than for others.
4. We have different combinations of medical conditions which means that certain forms of diet/exercise/medication may not be as appropriate/possible for some of us as they are for others.
5. We reserve the right to make our own individual response to how we balance out the risks of diabetic complications and possible side-effects of medication, with how we like to eat and live, and how far we are prepared to change and disrupt our diet.

I believe there is a sixth one that is perhaps more important than the other 5 above.
6. We all uphold different beliefs.
This is very important from what I have seen because, contrary to medical opinion, I don't think we are machines. Belief are responsible for a great deal of bodily reactivity. I strongly believe the body is purpose driven. This can be seen very clearly in the placebo and nocebo effects.
