> On airplanes, on cruise ships, and in restaurants, they often have a vegetarian menu, a low-fat menu, and/or a heart-healthy menu. Why don't they have a diabetic menu? We outnumber those other groups. I'm serious. When I mention being diabetic, the most common reply is "Me too." I never dreamed so many people had diabetes.

Because diabetics quietly and responsibly watch their diet and monitor their glucose levels, and never make a big deal out of it.

It's not the biggest minorities that get special perks, it's the most vocal ones.

I'm actually surprised that airplanes and cruise ships can't accommodate you if you inform them in advance. I saw part of a documentary some years back, about how they make airplane meals. They mentioned that one US airline (I forget which) had 171 different meals to accommodate various dietary restrictions. I think most of them were degrees of vegetarianism, but one of them must have been for diabetics.

There's something wrong with the world when a diabetic, who needs special food to live, doesn't get priority over people who insist on not being cruel to chicken eggs.
