really hate it when i get an email from diabetes uk saying that a 600 calorie diet can cure diabetes

then you read the article

it cures type 2

WOW NEWS JUST IN

STOPPING BEING FAT STOPS YOU HAVING OBESITY RELATED DISEASES!

It doesn’t cure type 2. It doesn’t cure…

7 of the 11 of on the trial were ‘diabetes free’ by the end of it

as it stands, i will never ever be ‘diabetes free’

also, type 2 is strongly linked to the rising obesity rates. also age, and other lifestyle factors. no-one in my family has type 1 and i have none of the risk factors. my immune system just went mental one day and now i’m fucked for life. i’m not trying to say that every type 2 is fat, or being fat gives you diabetes

i am merely expressing my woe that there is no way for me to ‘control’ my diabetes apart from injections which are horrid

can you all please stop jumping down my throat now jesus christ

You’re welcome. Suck my dick.

Also btw, how is screaming about how not being fat can cure a fat disease not making the claim that type 2 is a fat disease? And how does that not shame type 2 diabetics? Explain that, please, I’d LOVE to see you defend that. Talk about how you wish you didn’t have to take injections, fine, but don’t act like an asshole about type 2s (some of which are insulin dependent!) while you do it.

i made a sweeping generalisation because i was frustrated

obese people with type 2 lost weight and their symptoms went away

it is so so so upsetting that i cannot go on a 600 calorie diet and remove the need for medication

i am so sorry if i upset you, but seriously, you need to get off your high horse
