I didn't see the original post, just what was tagged to yours. My first
reaction was to say

Get the **** out of here with your STUPID money grabbing shite questions.
You're not dead, no one killed you and no-one harmed you. Get a life. Grow
up, learn something about diabetes before trying to make it a meal ticket,
or better still, **** off.

I don't think anything's likely to change that reaction either. I thought
YOU were being far too kind to him btw.
