Dear CrossFit: My Diabetes Homies & I Would Like You To Know....
Making fun of people alongside diabetes isn’t funny. It’s offensive, disturbing as well as it perpetuates diabetes myths instead of perpetuating as well as education diabetes realities.
And because of tweets/jokes/rubbish similar yours, diabetes becomes an unending diabetes blame-game,a target as well as punchline, that keeps people living alongside diabetes as well as regardless of the type, inwards the Diabetes Closet.
Your offensive tweet also directly impacts funding for diabetes research.
Diabetes shaming is a matter as well as a horrific matter at that. Diabetes shaming similar your unfunny tweet makes fun of a real existent grouping of diseases (t1 diabetes, LADA type 1.5, as well as T2 diabetes,) that are never ending as well as lead hold the potential to kill.
And only to endure crystal clear, I didn’t railroad train my type 1 diabetes every bit a skinny 8 yr quondam because I drank also much soda.
And my friend Jen didn’t railroad train her t2 diabetes because of soda. She doesn’t quaff soda, weighs xx pounds less than I practise as well as has e'er worked out.
But Jen’s woman bring upwards as well as grandmother lead hold as well as had type ii diabetes - thus at that topographic point you lot go.
Genetics came into play - every bit it unremarkably does alongside type 2.
And lets only tell for shits as well as giggles that some people living alongside t2 combat alongside their weight - every bit a fellowship that promotes fitness and a salubrious lifestyle, practise you lot actually mean value it’s OK to brand fun of others via social media (or whatever other platform,) struggling alongside their weight???
Do you lot mean value it’s OK to publicly mock people struggling alongside their wellness via social media?
NEWSFLASH: information technology ISN’T.
Diabetes shaming inwards tweets similar yours are just why people lead hold difficulty managing/accepting as well as living alongside their diabetes.
Diabetes, regardless of the type, is never ending, physically as well as emotionally demanding - non to cite financially draining.
People alongside diabetes operate thus hard as well as nosotros never teach a suspension or a solar daytime off from living alongside diabetes - personally, I haven’t had a solar daytime off from diabetes inwards 13,687.5 days.
As a Type1, I practise non lead hold the might to brand insulin because my ain trunk attacked the usage of my pancreas (the Islet of Langerhans,) that produces insulin, means dorsum when I was skinny 8 yr old. I was inwards the infirmary for three weeks as well as position on a 3000 calorie a solar daytime diet because I looked similar a concentration army camp victim - my trunk was literally starving itself.
FTR: People need insulin to to alive - as well as volition choke without. I could run marathons everyday as well as I would even thus require insulin to live.
Debbie lost her life to diabetes for a multitude of reasons - all direct related to diabetes.
Unfortunately, Debbie was diagnosed inwards the mid 60’s, a fourth dimension when at that topographic point was no such matter every bit fast acting insulins or diabetes technologies. The handling for t1 diabetes dorsum as well as then was archaic the life expectancy of someone alongside t1 inwards the 1960s was grim.
Not to cite that no 1 ever considered the mental side of living alongside diabetes, nor was talked about, allow lone treated. Her lilliputian trunk was ravaged from years of living alongside t1 as well as watching her choke was a tragedy.
My parents never got over her decease - as well as truthfully, neither lead hold I.
Are you lot aware that people alongside Type 1 tin choke from something called “Dead-IN-Bed,” syndrome? They choke from a depression blood saccharide inwards their sleep. Nothing funny well-nigh that.
Crossfit - You will never teach a unmarried dime from me.
But hopefully Coca-Cola volition convey the extra millions and millions of dollars they lead hold the potential to win inwards a trial re: your egregious usage of their logo/copyright infringement, and usage said money to furnish funding for diabetes query for the cure, Peer to Peer Diabetes Support, Artificial Pancreas research, grass roots diabetes efforts as well as the likes at that topographic point of.

Do you lot know anyone that’s died because of diabetes?
Unfortunately I practise as well as I tin assure it’s painful, scary, as well as you lot volition never teach over the loss or the pain.
