When somebody makes a diabetes joke around me

So what was your curiosity in asking? Bc Be real, the impression of T2 is that you eat too many sweets and don't take care of yourself. That is why I am annoyed by that question. Many times in my life, before and after disgnosis, I have heard someone say something along those lines after asking t1 or t2.

I get that I am coming off as aggressive and that automatically loses internet points but I feel that this is important. I hate that diabetes is a seriously deadly disease and it's often looked down on or mocked "bc we are all fat and can't control ourselves." But, fuck... The lowing hanging fruit reserved as punchlines are just unfunny and that is most offensive.
