People are shamed for treating MI, ADHD, and chronic pain to name a few. They're shamed for using mobility aids. We live in an ableist world.

Most people only stigmatize type 2 as the resulting of excessive sugar intake and type 1 as something you inherited/born with.

I got T2 after having gestational with my son. I always eat well, exercise, and generally would be someone people would assume wouldn’t get it.

I have had others make me feel as a failure because I have to take meds. See themselves as triumfant for not taking or avoiding them.
