"She had a bad campaign due to her illness"

:laugh2:

Omg......hope she never comes health secratary...

Theresa May has type 1 diabetes controlled with insulin injections. Can you imagine the reaction from the Left if she used it as an excuse for mistakes? If Diane Abbott has diabetes - luckily for her she had an "episode" that tied in with her massive ineptitude - she'd get more sympathy from me if she did something to control it, like lose weight.

This is a bad move.Labour are currently on a bit of a high.Why ruin it.

Too true Livia,missed you ,where you been? :wavey:

Supposition.
If only May could control the social situations she flounders at as well as her diabetes eh?

I wouldn't wish diabetes,type 1 or type 2 on anyone and on that well done to Theresa May if she is able to control it,especially in any stressful position.
That is where my praise ends as to Mrs May.

As I said no way will I make light of diabetes as to anyone who has it,it isn't sometimes referred to as the silent killer for nothing.
If not properly controlled it can cause problems all through ones body and organs.

Not a condition to be ridiculed at all.

no and quite disgusting to be used to blame ineptitude

it beggars belief she thinks she can lie like that

what else is she prepared to lie about?

Where's the proof she was lying?
Can you show undeniable proof for instance.It would be good to see if you have real credible proof that is.

Her medical records I am sure would be able to show she was diagnosed with it.
Or do you know for sure different.

no one is denying she is diabetic but if she is claiming that her diabetes made her fck up a succession of interviews then lets see the proof?

Yeah, as someone that was having serious hypo issues earlier in the year I can honestly say she showed no signs of it to me.
She has the same problem as Corbyn, coughing and stumbling and simply inept when they are caught off guard.

If her diabetes is not well controlled then it can affect generally,people with diabetes not well controlled can even be thought of as being drunk,when confused etc.

She stated she was affected by it, you and those who hate her,call her a liar, so you prove she was lying, if you can solidly state she was.

Has any medic come out and said it wasn't her diabetes since you are 100% it was not.
Diabetes causes all sorts of problems.

Unless I see clear substantiated proof she lied about it,then I will be prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt,as I would anyone with diabetes or in fact any other serious condition.

Joey, i don't wish Dianne ill health or misfortune, but i've never thought she was competent to be a home secretary. It's not even about getting figures wrong, its just general competence going back many years.

We can all argue the toss about if it affected her judgement etc, but the point is, in a position of responsibility, if she is prone to it affecting her under stress, she shouldn't be considered for the position, because actually being a home secretary is a lot more stressful than answering a couple of questions on Womens Hour.

It doesn't always have to be a serious hypo to cause problems.
A serious hypo would likely render you unconscious.

Just heading into one would be less likely to.
However high blood sugar as well as low causes problems too for diabetics.

You can say clearly that her diabetes played no part at all.

I'm not saying it did or didn't, I don't have substantiated proof like you maybe have somehow, so unless clearly proven,I afford her the benefit of the doubt.

Oh and I likely dislike Abbott as much as I do Mrs May.
I'd leave diagnosis to her Doctor myself though and not state as fact something I don't really know is fact at all.
