That’s right. People with diabetes are as cute and lovable as the next guy. Or as hairy-knuckled, wide-eyed, high-voiced, pencil-nosed, pigeon-toed, double-jointed, mono-browed, rude, short, and/or blonde: it’s a disease that really doesn’t discriminate, as far as outward appearances go. What this comment is intended to state is that we don’t look SICK. If you come up short with a witty retort of your own may I suggest turning the tables – ask them just what a diabetic is supposed to look like. Oh, and let me know how they answer: I’ll need to style accordingly.
