Do you do the same for diabetic children?

I am a diabetic. I do not ask for nor do I receive special treatment. I do not request that the people around me or in shared classes forgo their lifestyles for my "benefit". I learned at an early age exactly what my limitations are and this was done without the assistance or interference of local government.

Difference is, if someone opens a hostess cupcake beside your head and sugar particles become airborne, you aren’t going to go into diabetic coma. A child with real peanut allergies can go into shock just from the dust that comes off peanuts.

As I said before, the “peanut police” can be really intrusive, but please don’t downplay or belittle a child’s life threatening situation just because you personally feel the government shouldn’t interfere with your life- even to protect the innocent.
