Awareness

Being a Type2 definitely doesn’t get labeled as important. But sure gets labeled as lazy, overweight, and our fault that we have it!! I wish people and professionals would put that same effort in educating themselves about T2D!!

  1. I agree! This is really frustrating at times.

    1. it shouldn’t be this way . We fight the same fight . Why does one matter less than the other ?

    2. there are lots of articles that focus on the comparison. Of the difference between the types of Diabetes. It’s a shame that the stereotypes and misconceptions have led to . Even getting treatment and supplies are effected because they don’t believe it’s life threatening either.
