"oh, youre a diabetic? Are you sure you can eat that piece of bread? Shouldnt you only have green tea and banana skins?"

Yes, I'm INCREDIBLY sick of hearing it. People do not understand the mechanics of the whole thing but everyone's an expert because their 800 pound grandad was a type 2. If people are going to try and act like an expert, they should at least have somewhat of a knowledge base.

Dont get me wrong, Im not saying all type 2s are overweight. Im just making a point.
