Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ka-Mon" data-source="post: 202115" data-attributes="member: 27697">Isn't the word diabetic/s just a short way of saying "diabetes sufferers" or "diabetes patients"? I don't wear it as a badge of honor but I use the word diabetic to describe my illness for the simple fact that most people know or heard of diabetic/s. When I do use the word "diabetes" some even ask if that is the same as diabetic. Not everyone is aware of diabetes and most who have heard of it don't have a clue what it is. As far as I am concerned it's just a word and do not find it insulting or even wrong in the slightest.</blockquote>
