Fats are shaming the term "diabetic" Long time lurker, first time poster. It really annoys me that every time I tell someone "my mother has diabetes" they instantly think that my mother is a fatass. Because so many people nowadays are so fat that their pancreas won't work because of all the disgusting fat. It fucking irritates me. Especially when I've seen what my mother goes through with her disease. My mother is athletic, does lots of differents type of muscle excercises every day and jogs 10 km without stopping. Her BMI is 20. And yes, she has diabetes. Type 1 diabetes. And she can't do anything about it. She tries to keep her blood sugar in control by healthy diet, but her diabetes is still so bad that sometimes when her blood sugar gets too low she gets really disoriented and almost faints. And that's with the healthy diet and excercise. And then there are the type 2 diabetic fatasses. It fucking irritates me that they get diabetes because they just can't stop shoving food into their faces. They could do something about it, avoid it, but no. Gotta have those burgers and sodas. And when they do get the beetus, they could make it go away or at least ease up a little bit by losing some weight and moving a bit. But no. Too hard. Better just take some medicine for it and continue eating like a pig. My mother needs insuline to live. She can't help it. She does everything she can. These fucking fatasses could just stop eating so fucking much and need to take a few walks a week to make their disease go away but it's just too hard for them. TLDR; My fit mom is type 1 diabetic and she can't help it and it really annoys me that fats get type 2 beetus because they eat like pigs - and they actually could do something about it but simply don't.
