Further to an earlier post by @neobrainless, I’ve never heard of the Insulin Dependant Diabetes Trust (http://www.iddt.org). Anyone have any opinion on them?

), while having a fair enough point about keeping animal insulin available… -
No such thing as the nounish “Insulin Dependant(n) Diabetes Trust” – they sail under the adjectival banner “Insulin Dependent(adj) Diabetes Trust”. If they’re hippies, shouldn’t they be advocating a vegan diet?

Lol, sorry, I never got the hang of the more difficult verb/noun/adjective differences :S Or at least, knowing the difference between dependant and ‘ent…

@neobrainless: If your parents aren’t killer tomatoes, do they taste like veal or pork, and are you an auto-cannibal too? Hope you added that to “autoimmune diabetes” on your internet profile
(And if you emigrate to America, you can use “dependant” as both noun & adjective to your heart’s content
) -
Wow, there’s finally a good reason to move to America!
Sadly, like many vegetables I know, I have never tried eating my parents, so cannot enlighten you further

They seem a little too much tin foil hat for my liking…..
