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

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karenchq" data-source="post: 1784845" data-attributes="member: 298654">I am so ashamed to say that I thought the same thing. My mother was diabetic and out of ignorance I had no sympathy for her struggle as I thought she brought it upon herself due to her weight. Now that I am diabetic, can understand most of the ignorant comments and questions and use it as an opportunity to educate.  Questions that do alarm me have been from the medical community. I have been asked by a nurse "What is a normal blood sugar range and what is the difference between type 1 and type 2?" It quickly became apparent to me that we must educate and advocate for ourselves.  I am so thankful for the education and advice on this forum.</blockquote>
