I have been watching a prog about Jamie Oliver, Restaurants going bust. He had the right idea. But the whole world wants to eat SUGAR ?

Can you imagine what my Mother had to put up with when all the other kids where at the sweet shop ? I am a very determined person & have never been unemployed in my life. Worked since 2 days before my 16 B day. Did my last O,level on the Thurs afternoon & was at work on the Fri morning

And? What point are you trying to make?

[HOBIEONE in reply to lfn1]

I thought it was easily understood. I do not like sweet stuff, after being in Hospital a few times with DKA because of Pukosazade. I thought I was properly Dieing because my chest was so knackered off being sick so many times. I could throw a Mars Bar so far you would not find it ?

Not everyone is going to like the same things as everyone else. It’s the same as if someone likes one type of book/author, but someone else likes another type of book/author. Hopefully, this helps.😀👍

Can you imagine being 3years old & being a T1 diabetic. NOT being allowed sweets etc. I know you are a T1 but I really do HATE sweet stuff. I regularly talk to university students & tell them that carbs do the damage. I could eat sea food for England & my record is 5 lobsters in one knight, claws & all.

When I was 3+ years old and also in school, things weren’t easy as being a Diabetic, but my parents had talks with the teacher (s) and school nurses about what I can/couldn’t have— especially when we had special parties. This was done for most of my school life.😀👍
