British Prime Minister, Theresa May has opened up about living with type 1 diabetes but vows not to let it hold her back in discharging her duties. She made
this revelation during a Facebook live interview with Robert Peston on Monday where she took online questions.
Mrs May told ITV’s Robert Peston that fellow diabetes sufferers should not let the illness
hold them back. She went on to reveal that she has to constantly track the glucose levels in her blood ever since she was
diagnosed in 2012 and she also gets to inject herself with Insulin up to five times a day. During the interview, a fellow diabetic
asked about her own experience to which she answered:
“I am a type one diabetic. That means when I eat, I have to inject insulin, which I do. I will be injecting myself four or five times a day… You just get into a routine.
You depend on that insulin and you just build that routine
into your daily life. The crucial thing to me is being a diabetic doesn’t stop you from doing anything.”
Along the line, the interview was hijacked by a question from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. He posted a question on Facebook,
asking why the PM is refusing to take part on a TV debate with him and Mr Peston read out the question.
“Hello Theresa May, as Prime Minister you’ve served your elite friends by giving them tax cuts when wages have stagnated, house-building is at its lowest since the 1920s, there are
20,000 fewer police on our streets
since 2010 and the NHS is in crisis.
