It is possible though they are just being polite to myself and Julies as they do live 200 miles away and we only see each other a couple of times per year for family get togethers etc. but on every occasion they have been aware of the fact that Julie is insulin dependant etc and never have either of them expressed any issues or concerns with this.

I know they have strong feelings on blood transfusions etc., and at Xmas time me and Julie can only give gifts to their children if they are wrapped up in plain brown paper as they do not celebrate Xmas etc and they even take their children out of school at this time to avoid any celebrations etc.

But the insulin/diabetic issue is a new one on me.

My cousins who are Jehovas Witnesses are currently away at the moment so I cannot phone to tactfully ask but I also work with someone who is and if I get chance and he is in work tomorrow then I will tactfully ask him tomorrow and post back with any information I find.

Thank you
