I think, though I can't find any evidence, this month is for both types. Type 2 diabetics take insulin too, but only if they continue to be on a shitty diet (so, a lot). They have a choice, unlike type 1 diabetics. Like having diabetes in the first place. It's sad.  I sympathize with you, it must fucking suck for your family member to not only have diabetes, but be associated with laziness and gluttony, as type 2  rapidly eclipses type 1. But I don't think this post was made with type 1 in mind, because no type 1 diabetic I know is quite so entitled and bitter as to make a passive aggressive quote like this.
