OP here

(Anonymous) 2017-08-25 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I was serious. I have a family history of type 2 diabetes and my A1C tests on the high side of "normal". I'm on medication and if I don't watch my diet and exercise regularly, I WILL end up diabetic.

I always assumed people who said it similarly did it in your context OP. Rarely heard it used otherwise as makes no sense (okay, sure, maybe there is some statistical anomaly or it is an idiom in such and such area).

Really? You've never herd people reference something decadent with something like "and then you get diabetes!" Or "That's diabetes in a glass, right there!" Or "This (one particular item) is why you have diabetes, America!"

Anon you replied to: Heard it rarely said by parents to kids in the 90s as a cautionary tale. Never heard that said about America xD - the stereotype is mostly fat (not so much nowadays) or full of chemicals or cholesterol.

Really. Because hear 20-something millenials say it all the fucking time.

Everyonr I know says "heart attack in a dish"

I mean, statistically eating like that leads to diabetes. It's not like it's a misnomer.

Then you should know better than to spew such crap about diabetes.

I hope you never are diagnosed because it is a life of judgement on the how, why and when. Anything you put in your mouth is under judgement. That glass of water? Questioned. Tea? Questioned? The meal your doctor has prescribed to you and insists you cannot deviate from in amount of carbs for the next 40 years? Questioned. Basically anything you do from the moment that D goes against your name is questioned and it all stems from the same bullshit like jokes over lotr movies.

Diet, exercise, genes, environment are all elements in type TWO of diabetes. Not ONE.

Not that it matters.

We have a disease that will kill us one day one way and joking about it is pathetic.

I'll make jokes about my condition if I want to. You can decide what's best for you. It's probably a good idea not to set your heart on policing everyone's sense of humor though, because that doesn't sound like a realistic life goal.

I don't but if I see people making light of a disease that is killing people slowly but surely because not enough people take it seriously then I will say something. And so will a lot of other diabetics. So joke ahead but know on platforms like this other diabetics will speak up about it. Cause what you see as a joke others can and will see as reasons to tell you that your disease is your fault and worse things. I understand making light of your condition to cope but there are places for that. Platforms like this just do damage in the long run. When prices are sky rocketing for us to get supplies. When Docs say 'you can only have X number because you're ONLY type 2'. When people tell you to 'just eat that'. It all stems from jokes like this feeding a misunderstanding public that tells itself we did this and deserve it. Each to their own though.
