Diabetics Share In Such Broad Generalizations
“Don’t you think diabetes is really just a nice way to say a person is fat and eats to much?” My head turns in the direction of the very rude, rather large caboosed women spreading her intelligence to anyone who will listen. “I agree, I mean come on, I can eat donuts, but I know when to say when. At one!” Oh boy, they didn’t know who was standing behind them as they shared their ignorance with the room.
This happened while I was at a cookout at a friend’s house. First of all, both women were by no means tiny in stature. Second, they were shoving their faces with chips, hot dogs and hamburgers. And third, just who the heck do they think they are?
“Excuse me, I couldn’t help but overhear your comment and I am a diabetic. I am young, exercise, eat healthy and try to stay as fit as possible. The thing is, my pancreas and cells don’t realize that I am not “fat” per say, and kind of have a mind of their own. They kind of just don’t allow the insulin and insulin production in my body to work efficiently. Maybe you should research the facts before you start making very broad, ignorant generalizations!”
Well, they shut right on up! Ah…. I guess ignorance is bliss. The funny thing is, they keep eating like that and they will end up one of my cardiac patients, you know?
