With that in mind, I'd like to propose the Layman's terms of diabetes:

1. Pre-diabetes - A bit like being pre-menstrual but involves less cakes.

2. Syndrome X - A form of metabolic disorder that involves people in tight trousers deciding if you've got it or you haven't.

3. Type 2 - Fairy diabetes. Nothing to worry about whatsoever as it's not serious in any way shape or form. Can eat absolutely anything (unless it's birthday cake, and then you can make a scene about them not having any in front of the crowd)

4. Type 1 - Deadly serious diabetes (otherwise known as DSD). Involves lots of needles so it must be terrible. Nothing else about the condition is a problem. Cannot eat birthday cake in the same manner as a T2 (see Fairy Diabetes, above), but anything else goes.

5. Type 1.5 - A diabetic bisexual, partial to both bread AND cakes.

6. LADA - A very bad Eastern European car that has to go easy on the bread

7. Mody - Someone that samples other bits of diabetes and then puts them to heavy basslines and old blues records. Afraid of croissonts.

8. Pumper - Terminally ill, could croak in front of your eyes. Can eat anything as they'll be dead by morning so where's the harm?
