If there's one thing I've noticed over the past couple of months, it's that the diabetics of Sussex have remarkably good taste. One of my patients this afternoon was a 79-year-old lady with noticeable insight and perception. As soon as I'd finished taking photos of her eyes, she said to me "Let me put my glasses back on so I can see how beautiful you are". You can't argue with judgement like that.

On the downside, my very next patient was a 68-year-old man who walked in, sat down, and said "I've got a complaint". I asked him what it was, and he said "You're not as pretty as the young lady I saw last year".

I told him to go and see his optician.
