Ketoacidosis? Oh No, You Better Don’t, Sis

eating sugar is not a primary cause of diabetes. eating junk food is not a primary cause of diabetes. when you make jokes about "getting diabetes" over sugary, junk filled food, you are enforcing stereotypes that end with diabetics developing deadly eating disorders or experiencing medical abuse and neglect. Yes, it is that deep. Stop making diabetes jokes, you look like an uneducated bigot

There needs to be more allowance for disabled people to be angry. People want us to be somber and quiet. Sad at our condition and how hard life is. And yeah that’s allowed. But we’re also allowed to be fucking pissed off. People don’t help, people infantilise, governments don’t supply enough support, places aren’t accessible. This isn’t momentary. This is forever. There are so many things we can’t do and so many things we can’t be. Life isn’t fair. It likely won’t get fair enough for most to be comfortable. Yeah, I’m grieving, I’m sad, but I’m also FUCKING ANGRY.

being diabetic + neurodivergent is such a combo because its like "oh? you want to eat food? heres a list of steps u have to do before u can eat. and then u have to make the food. actually u should have made it earlier cause now u gotta eat something else or ur gonna die. and also if u want to eat more than u planned for well uhm too bad loser" like HHhHVHGFCVJH WHY CANT IT JUST BE SIMPLE. I DONT WANT TO DO ALL THESE THINGS JUST SO I CAN EAT

Not telling your kid they have a learning disability, chronic illness, mental illness etc. so they can “feel normal” actually does the opposite. They will not feel normal if they do not have the context to understand that their normal will be different from that of their peers.

Hey abled people maybe don’t tell disabled people what is and is not accessible to them? Like crazy idea but just don’t. Don’t do that.

sometimes that sad feeling is due to low blood sugar, and sometimes it's from decades of history. not that complex

happy disability pride month specifically to diabetics <3 type one, type two, gestational, prediabetic, another kind of diabetic – no matter what, you are gorgeous and sexy and I love you

i cant stress this enough, disabled people know their own limits. i fucking promise you. we are not being lazy or jerks because we won't do something YOU want us to do or something YOU THINK will make us feel better. it wont. stop.

Underrated annoyances of diabetes: being unable to itch the itchy spot underneath the GCM/ Insulin pump…

Non t1ds really don't understand why you can't lay on your site... like they'll never understand that kind of pain
