Since Sue brought the semantics into the other poll...
For simplicity sake, when I need to clarify something to someone else, I'll say I'm diabetic but I don't think of myself AS diabetic, I have diabetes. Yes, semantics, but it's in the same lines as saying I *can* eat whatever I want, but some things are not my best choice. It's about me being in control of the situation not the other way around.
