A few days/weeks/months/years/whatevers ago, over a brekky of multiple coffees, spinach and mushrooms, The Squinters' Needles, the Renaissance Man chatted-up GWS Giants hero and AFL footballer with diabetes Sam Reid about life (with diabetes), the (footy) universe (with diabetes) and everything (mostly diabetes). They discuss the effectiveness of dartboard gut tattoos as a way of deflecting stigma, what it is like to lose 16 kilos in two weeks, the utility of tumeric on everything and break a story that Dayne Zorko is a bit of a sook. You heard it here first.

If anyone has any thoughts or questions or their own insights (or Paddy McCartin's or Brandon Jack's contact details please), get in touch at [email protected].
