Being diabetic myself, I am always on the diabetic forums making sure that I don’t miss any exciting or important news.

For some time there has been a focus on type 2 diabetes being, in a way, treatable, but I wasn’t going to shout about it until I was sure it really worked.

Alas, the time has come! This news has been circulating the internet for some time now but it can be difficult to find if you’re not specifically searching for Type 2 Diabetes reversal. So hopefully this page will get searched for as “cure” and you’ll be pleased with the result…

This is the news:

Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/reversing-diabetes.html

I implore you to visit your doctor and ask about what you can do to reverse your type 2 diabetes.

Be confident and strong…

Hi all,

Here’s some news that will get your blood boiling and your sugar levels low.

I decided to go to Chessington World of Adventures to have a ruddy good time and as usual, I went directly to the medical hut to sort out my disability bands for my diabetes; they allow me to go to the front of queues due to the risk of getting low blood sugars whilst waiting.

I was greeted by a disabled man (not sure what he had) and I explained my situation of being diabetic, handed him a note from the doctor clearly stating that it is a risk for me to wait in the queues and listened intently to what he had to say:

CWA Staff: “Is that the only disability you have?”

ME: “erm, yes, it IS the disability I have”

CWA Staff: “Well we only hand out the bands to people who find it difficult to wait in queues”

I was stunned. I simply said ok and left the hut. The story doesn’t get much better than this. Luckily I went back in with some guts and explained:

ME: “How is this acceptable? I pay £36 to enter Chessington to have a good time, not to constantly worry about my blood sugars. When I wait in a queue, my blood sugar levels lower; especially in the sun. I get to the ride and ignore my symptoms because I am excited about getting on and then have a hypo whilst on it.”

CWA Staff: “Well we will give you the band this time, but next time you need to bring a letter stating it’s difficult for you to wait in a queue”

Well hangon… Didn’t I just tell you it’s difficult you fool, and read the damn letter too, it explains it.

So anyway, I got the band but what a total waste of my time.

I guess what I want to try and say is that Chessington World of Adventurers is way off the mark when it comes to defining what a disability is.

Grr, James
