I have a question and I'm curious if any of you have heard it too. Has anyone ever told you that you don't look like a diabetic? I've been told that and it always bothers me because there is no "look" for diabetics. I was curious if I was the only one or not.
Yeah it’s a common misconception that type 1 and type 2 are the same. I wish they had different names instead of both being called diabetes. Would save us from a lot of stereotypes and general confusion
haha has totally happened to me. i think it has to do with the stereotype of diabetetics living an unhealthy lifestyle and they are just confusing type 1 and type 2
