September 2018 Question Title * 1. This month, after moving the 3rd of my 4 kids off to college, I thought of all the kids with diabetes we’ve worked with over the years to make college preparations, including special accommodations (food, housing, test-taking) just for having diabetes. The fact is, some people like to use their diabetes for special treatment, while others prefer not to. I personally enjoyed “special assistance” privileges at Disney World when they were available! What’s your opinion? Living with diabetes is tough! It is perfectly reasonable to “play the diabetes card” for special privileges any time. Diabetes should only be used for special accommodations when it is TRULY needed. Using diabetes to get special treatment hurts our reputation, and should never be done. OK DONE
