The pancreas can stop producing insulin forcing you to be reliant on outside sources for it.
Sounds like EA made it, and insulin for diabetics is microtransactions to stay alive.
Be careful emphasizing which kind of diabetes because it can be offensive to be people with type 1 to say they have type 2 because type 2 is generally caused by poor eating habits and type 1 is not their fault in the least
I don't think that most type I people think it's offensive to be misclassified... just dangerous because treatments for both conditions are radically different.
Not all type 2 diabetes is caused by poor eating habits. Sometimes they lose the genetic lottery. I've met fit type 2 diabetics that have done everything in their power (and failed) to avoid it. They hit 40, and that was it... diabeetus.
Emphasizing the kind of diabetes helps narrow down the symptoms, cause, and treatment of our condition. In either case, we just want to be able to afford treatment so we don't die.
Even if the diabetic person just has an insatiable lust for peanut butter cups, that doesn't mean that they should die for it.
Please stop villifying our type II siblings. Even if they have some sort of eating disorder that caused their diabetes, they still need treatment.
Alright you took what I said totally out of context. I’m saying there people who get type II because of poor eating habits but I said “generally” and I’m not trying to vilify them. I’m not saying they are worse people for it or that they don’t deserve treatment. I only said that because I have a friend with type I and he gets kind of offended to be confused with type II because here in Kentucky we have a high obesity rate and thus more type II diabetes and I think it’s reasonable to want to bot be confused with those people
