[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 251189"] I'd make a couple of points here.. Firstly the age at which you're diagnosed can bear so little relation to when you officially became diabetic as to be meaningless. I was diagnosed at 39 but I suspect I was type 2 before I was 30. secondly it is not 'unfair' that people fatter than you don't have diabetes. It's not a fat persons condition and to suggest it is misrepresents diabetes for those of us who are type 2. Your comment also suggests that it would be fairer for others to have the condition as well as us. I am a type 2 diabetic - it's unfortunate, but not unfair. [/QUOTE]
