As a slight aside to this… Is it just me or does anyone else stumble slightly over the difference between *having* diabetes and *being* diabetic. I much prefer the former, but (if I ever get round to sorting out some new Medical ID) T1 Diabetic is much shorter!
I think it’s just wanting to distance myself from the whole stupidly annoying business, wanting it to bbe something ‘outside’ of me rather than something that I *am*
