In 92 he wasn't fully diagnosed as diabetic . The diabetic condition is a dificult one to pick up general fealing of being unwell inquenchable thirst constant fealing of tiredness and nausia, loss of appitite and dizzyness are all symptoms but they can be so insepid it can be months or years before the symptoms begin to add up and the condition is recognised . It is hard to understand if you have never been with someone who has developed this condiditon in later life as Gibbs did how it can effect every aspect of thier life and how depressing it can be.
Since 92 Gibbs left football went on to be diagnosed recieved treatment and ran a sucessful race team. I know diabetis is associated with a whole range of other illnessess some very serious indeed but normally doctors are looking out for these but i don't know maybe Gibbs is fealing unwell and Morton has some insight into that but personally i think it is just speculation and the situation couldn't be any more different that it was in 92.
