[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 544920, member: 101136"] For some reason I seem to remember that figure of diabetics diagnosed in the UK back in the early/mid 80's...? It stuck in my mind because it was the same figure for the unemployed about that time too...!? Though I was and always am lucky to be in gainful employment while a few of my friends were struggling.. & while still classing myself as one of "Thatcher's jilted generation " I only ever met one other diabetic rather briefly (an older guy) when his girlfriend blurted he was diabetic at a function & my mother looking at the pint he was nursing in his hand enquired "should you be drinking that"? Though I was too young to drink alcohol at that time, I shared his pain.... We both winced at her comment. [/QUOTE]
