So for the avoidance of doubt and to set the record straight, none of the DIR'rs have offered to send flowers to Steve. If it's flowers from DIR'rs that Steve wants, though, then I'll be the first to send them.

I make the exception, I practice

Get a life Mal, Steve knows exactly what I'm really saying without having to say the actual words

Your HSE Dive Doc is misinformed. If you have diabetes, type 1 or 2, it's not like a cold and will disappear after a while. You have it for life. If you control it well then it may feel you don't have it, but it will never disappear.

I tend to believe my Dr it was backed up by 2 other dr's one a diabetic consultant.

There are some drs out there who have other views, I had a relative who was basically making major major life changing plans because when he was diagnosed as type 2 his Dr told him life expectancey for t2 was 5 years. thats fing bull or I'm dead!
