Can people please please realise the difference between the different types of diabetes- type one isnât caused by eating too much sugar! I canât stress this enough! The amount of times Iâve had someone tell me that Iâm diabetic because I ate too much sugar as a kid... no! No it was not! (This has happened a lot lately) Iâve been diabetic for 14 years, if it was preventable or cured by healthy eating, donât you think Iâd of done so? I donât enjoy injecting myself multiple times a day. Itâs painful. Unfortunately it is just something that happens and it just happened to be me who ended up diagnosed. Type two diabetes can sometimes be rectified with a healthier diet but type one is completely different. I could eat only fruit and veg for the rest of my life but Iâd still be diabetic (which sucks but it is what it is) if people are inquisitive thatâs wonderful, Iâm happy to spread awareness and I donât mind being asked about things but when people assume and start telling me things (that arenât correct) about the disease that I actually have itâs rather infuriating. Ask me questions thatâs fine, Iâm happy to answer but donât be a smart arse and tell me itâs my fault or my parents when you have no idea or youâre going off what youâve heard cause it really isnât and i donât appreciate it. Itâs also rather insensitive. đ
