Thread: Budget 2015 sneaky bit

There are many insulin dependent diabetics driving professionally as I used to. I needed a clearance from an endocrinologist who had to be satisfied that I had good control of diabetes. I have since let my professional license go as I am no longer in the industry. My younger brother is still in the industry driving triples, B doubles etc with no problems.

As you have read I am a diabetes type2 sufferer......but I don't suffer at all really.

My wife is a highly professional chronic disease facillitator and trainer and specialises in diabetes management , which involves consulting with and training doctors and diabetes specialists in all areas of diabetes management.

She lectures and speaks at many large medical forums in front of quite large numbers of medical fraternity members.

Many statements already made in this thread about diabetes are incorrect and I am not going to go to the extent of cutting any one person down about it.

My wife has read this thread and being a nice quiet person simply says, "if those making statements feel good about it, and those reading the said statements believe them , then more silly them".

Yes and my brother is a fitter and machinist but I wouldn't go around telling people how to use a mill or lathe.

I will however stand by my own credentials.
