[QUOTE="Craftygal, post: 2616879, member: 544191"] Wow that’s uncalled for, the comment “take these but they will make you feel drowsy” omg, how terrible, so how are suppose to look after you diabetes if your drowsy, what a stupid thing to say, in the medical community the doctors have no respect for people with diabetes partly because they think it’s your fault you got diabetes well with Type 2 anyway, I’ve been bullied by the medical community, rude comments, not being empathetic at all. It’s the stigma behind Type 2 diabetes that causes a lot of shaming to us who have T2 not everyone with T2 have it because of weight. And some with wieght the wieght can be caused by other medical conditions like PCOS. And they really do not respect what goes into this disease everyday. It can be exhausting to the point you get fed up with it, and have what you crave I know I do who wouldn’t . There’s a YouTube video ofa doctor who has type 2 and he was saying he worked in the ER and there was a women who came in and had a bad ulcer on her foot so bad that her foot had to be amputated, anyways he was thinking in his head, if you only would of done the things your suppose to when your a diabetic you would not be in this mess, now this is what he’s Thinking he do not say it to her face, well one day he was told he had T2 diabetes, he never thought that way again, because he lives it now and regretted that he thought that of her. He realized how hard it is to be a person with any type of diabetes. See you have to live it to get the full experience of being a person with diabetes. He was in tears by the time he finished his speech. I forget his name but he was on Tedtalk on YouTube. There needs more support and understanding of people living with this awful disease, I’ve been through the wringer with doctors, and now I’m learning to advocate more for myself. To be honest I have not yet met one doctor who is nice and sympathetic to me about my diabetes, I have come out of my doctors office crying all the way home. [/QUOTE]
