What the actual fuck....

I have Type 1 Diabetes, it effectively has/had nothing to do with being unhealthy to develope it and most certainly had nothing to do with drinking soda

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus_type_1

It's an auto immune disorder, my white blood cells destroyed the insulin producing cells in my pancreas because they accidentally identified them as a threat to my body.

Type 2 is where the body makes insulin but you are basically too poorly and large for that amount of insulin to be enough for you, type 1 is a different thing... it's pretty much a different condition, hate that they share a name, but yeah, I'm not overweight and most certainly not... unhealthy.

Not every diabetic person is overweight. Not every overweight person is diabetic.

 

However, the statistics that I recall from studying obesity/type 2 correlation does show that many people with type 2 are also obese. http://asmbs.org/resources/weight-and-type-2-diabetes-after-bariatric-surgery-fact-sheet

 

I'm sorry for mistaking type 1 with type 2. That was a terrible mistake, but I assure you I'm not trying to paint you as some obese diabetic. 

 

As someone who is 6ft 1in, myself and the BMI scale don't perfectly see eye to eye, especially since I'm muscular !! but yeah it most certainly does not put me in any of the bad categories still, love me a nice healthy jog or session of weights far more than most people :) sorry... I didn't mean to trigger and I'm aware I was like.... "fuck off" with my first post, but yeah it would be like if there was a new version form of obesity which they named something something cancer, and then when people were diagnosed with traditional cancer someone consoled them by saying "I'm sorry you got fat and cancer'y"

Main difference I guess is that T2 can be controlled with diet and exercise (ie stop eating and go walking) but Type 1 if I don't take my 4/5 injections per day, I'll die by the end of the week, simple as that. Always wondered if I asked to not receive treatment for it and didn't take injections... would a doctor force them into me when I passed into a coma or would I be allowed to die... this took a turn for the dark but such is life when it comes to a thread about taking sugar out of a drink to make people smarter, it's like taking matches off fully grown adults, there is a point where you have to just suck it up, and say those fucktards are just going to keep burning themselves, they will have to learn that matches burn their fingers and drinking sugar unless you need energy++++ is bad for you.
