I am sorry for the harshness of the scene
But surely we are more fortunate not to despair because of diabetes
 
While I have every sympathy for people undergoing various difficulties and problems, I am not going to play the 'someone is worse off than me so I need to stop feeling bad about my difficulties' game.

No-one knows the hidden challenges people face, the battles they secretly win, the pain they suffer inside.

Also, the same difficulties and/or disabilities affect people in different ways.

Yes, everyone living in this life is exposed to problems
 
I think those with no disabilities should thank their luck stars. Instead of making those with one/or more feel a hindrence to the nhs.

Apparently diabetics are soon to be given the same attention as smokers for smoking.

I can feel my blood pressure raising already!!!

Maybe sugary foods and drink will have health warnings on them?
Other carby foods will be ignored, you watch!

I hope when bariatric surgery helps me lose weight I won't be asked how come I have diabetes because I'm not overweight. I'll eat them alive. Ha ha

Judging book by its cover! Argh!!! Mind u I should be used to it by now.

I thought we already were being blamed and pilloried for being a drain on the NHS due to our alleged gluttony?

I am not sure what you mean by the 'same attention'? and will this also apply to alcoholics, and drug addicts? Many of whom have mental health issues.

Shout back "here you big mouth, start eating as your breath is sour".

One (nearly drunk) idiot called me fat about 10yrs ago and I told her "well at least i can afford bread". She needed a good meal with her smoking and drinking spending spree at Chav-ins.(Pontins - Sun newspaper £9.99 holiday) Now people call me behind my back as I don't look like I'd take such remarks lightly. Only because of pain lines on my face thou. Pain makes me so much more irritated, I find.
Tramadol has save a few hasty backbiting remarks from me, luckily.
I pity anyone who tries to be funny about my weight at mo. Very very sensitive because of no walking freely to stop adding weight or cholesterol.
Mind u I've had a lifetime of ridicule and practice at backbiting to show the idiots up for what they are. Many don't expect it as I'm normally very jolly and playful in my manner.

They they **** you off behind your back for eating with them.
Karma as one ended up twisted faced and fat in one of my old jobs.
What goes around, comes around.

I'm being crucified for moving to an expensive part of town when hubby had good wages. They don't see all the pain we've been through to get boys settled and a good school.
2 house moves just after a baby. Neither wonder my back is broke.

People just see what they want to see!
 
Had that 30 years ago when two teenagers started laughing at an elderly woman clearly incapacitated who was in tears. So were they after I was finished with them.

HATE that abuse with a passion.
