I dislike/despise when I'm trying to exercise and I hear the dreading alarm of my device ringing telling me to eat something so that I don't pass out/collapse from hypoglycemia. Like I'm trying to have some fun while losing my weight. I don't need to be reminded that I'm not like other people who can exercise just fine without the risk of low blood sugar. I'm already frustrated enough that it's hard for me to lose weight from my PCOS. I don't need to be reminded of the two things that make my life a bit more harder than other people.
Sorry I just needed to get this off my chest...
This!
t1d culture is feeling self-conscious about being diabetic because of how people like to treat it as a joke or exclude diabetics from stuff so you feel like a bad person for having a disease you did nothing to get
t1d culture is seeing people just eating when they're hungry without thinking twice, going for seconds, buying themselves a treat when they feel like it, sometimes even not finishing their food if they feel full earlier than they expected. adding syrup to their coffee or honey to their tea, because they can.
and. just. watching. with fucking JEALOUSY. because i'll never eat worry free again. and i dread every family or friends meeting, because of course there will be food. and it will be a problem.
