Has stigma been a part of your experience with diabetes and if so how?

I'm not easily riled but I know a lot of people that are. I think that's and just because I can laugh it off doesn't mean it's right and doesn't make any less of a thing and I do I do find it disappointing when people just don't know the difference between the types and the implications of it. And the media are not very good that, you know, most days there'll be something in the mail or the express and it will very often talk about diabetes without saying the type. and it will often, you know, you very commonly see features on a diet to cure diabetes, and you feel like jumping up and down and waving and saying, I'm sorry, mine can't be cured. And if you write about diabetes, you know, online, if you put stuff on a blog or on social media, you very quickly get spammed with, you know, what are really quack cures for your type one and that can be annoying. And I think it must be very particularly distressing for parents of young children when it's patently obvious that it's not caused by anything they've done wrong because you know, the guilt is transferred there, isn't it? If you're, if you've got a child developing type one in infancy, which can happen, you must have an element of guilt, you know, have I been feeding them the wrong stuff or something like that? So yeah, it is there and it's a big deal.
