Now that I have a child with Type 1 diabetes and KNOW about the disease, what really peeves me is seeing diabetes portrayed in movies or on TV or even hearing people talking about diabetes when it’s obvious they have NO idea what they are talking about. I just love Ginger Vieira. She is a health coach, diabetes advocate, freelance writer and author – oh and she also has Type 1 Diabetes. Ginger wrote a book that I love called, “Your Diabetes Science Experiment” and she also has another book that came out recently called, “Emotional Eating with Diabetes.”
Ginger recently posted this video about diabetes in movies and she is so RIGHT ON. You should take a minute to watch it and the next time you see diabetes portrayed in a movie or television show – don’t believe everything you see. ;)
