I My first sentence was vague though; I should've clarified I was talking about those with type 2, not type 1.

Thank you. It's a condition too often stigmatized and had people assume the worst about my lifestyle due to it.  Regularly eat chicken breasts and broccoli, and drink protien shakes and yet still get judged due to lack of awareness.

Trust me, I wasn't trying to put down diabetics. My family has a history of diabetes, so it'd be rude for me to do so.

 

I suppose the issue honestly is the fact that type 1 and 2 come due to entirely different reasons, but a lot of people tend to forget that type 1 is typically due to genetics (and not health). I won't lie- until a few years ago, I always believed both came from being overweight. Definitely deserves more attention
