It's time to question everything you think you know about type 2 diabetes. Very proud of my feature in @Chatelaine. It's a long read but an informative and, I hope, relatable one to my fellow t2's. In case no one has told you yet - this is not your fault.

Type 2 diabetes isn’t a lifestyle disease, and no, we didn’t do it to ourselves. Here’s everything you need to know about the condition.

Dear Young Adults, You can leave. If you don’t like your doctor, walk out in the middle of your appointment. Leave the party. End the date. Don’t wait until the “polite” time to leave or endure because you think you’ll make a scene. You can go.

Fellow diabetics - does extreme heat cause erratic blood glucose levels? Or is it just me? #t1diabetes #t2diabetes

I don’t care if someone “caused” their disability. Like smokers getting lung cancer or addicts having cardiac issues or alcoholics getting liver damage. They are still sick, and they are still disabled. They still matter, and they are still people.

I opened a box of 10 assorted timbits. Every single one was plain. Sadistic.

If you're a freelancer, you're a small business owner. Being a sole proprietor is not a gap in my resume yet hiring teams continue to treat it as such. Freelancing is not only real work, it's entrepreneurship. Stop gaslighting freelancers (and pay them on time too)

Have you used DNA databases to find lost family? I'm looking to speak with Indigenous folks (First Nations, Metis or Inuit in "Canada") who found, or tried to find, family through https://t.co/OZmeGZORsS 23andme or other dna services #journo

This oat milk craze makes me laugh. Non-diabetics are using CGM's and fasting to avoid glucose spikes but pounding oat milk and calling it Oatzempic. It's baffling and also kind of hilarious.

It blows my mind that this girl thought she was ugliest, biggest, most unworthy person on the planet. I'm literally wearing boy pants bc store sizes didn't go past 12 and plus sized fashion didn't exist (yeah it's the 90s and pixelated AF). I love how far we've come lil one 💚

This jolts decision is such a disappointment though predictable. As a patient, my choices are: smoke until I have asthma, use capsules or oils and have 💩🤢💩🤢, or eat sugary edibles despite my diabetes. It's an impossible choice. Jolts were discrete & side effects free for me💔

Any #medicalcannabis folks have advice for new onset allergies after long term use?
