I never wanna sound bitchy about this topic but I've also lived through most of my life with it.
The amount of times I will be experiencing a low blood sugar and people will ask me if I need my insulin and if I'm sick with a high glucose ask me if I need some orange juice.
Tbh I'm terrified of having a medical emergency in public due to the misinformation and it's lately due to lumping these diseases together.
I already feel self conscious wearing my diabetes medical devices in public and knowing some people think I actively choose this hurts my heart. Trust me when I say this from the type 1 community we will gladly choose to not live through this chronic illness everyday with no days off since I was 4.
