 How do you deal with all these people constantly judging you? A lot of people without weight problems also have diabetes Relax, respect other people's opinion Hello everyone, today I am going to talk to you about five tips To deal with the judgment around diabetes Have you heard that? Hey, you have diabetes, you can't eat that Oh, you have diabetes, oh poor thing, you're gonna die early Oh my god, are you gonna go blind? Oh my god, you know, your blood sugar like must be 500, how you live with that? Or they'll say, oh, you can't eat it, you can't eat that, you can't eat this How do you deal with all these people constantly judging you and telling you what to do and what not to do? Let's talk about that right now So the number one thing I would suggest to do is to kill them with kindness So most people have misperceptions and misunderstandings about diabetes or diabetic people And they will just sometimes say mean things What do you do with that? Well, stay calm and be kind because they just don't know any better So what's number two? Number two is try to educate them Now the whole purpose of this sugar MD channel is for you to be educated So try to pass that information to other people If they are willing to learn, right? So first be kind and second try to teach them exactly what they don't know in a nice way That way they will understand that you are actually very educated And you are not going to be harmed from the diabetes itself Because you know exactly what you are doing Now number three is remind yourself that diabetes is not something to be ashamed of It's not a shameful disease, it's not an STD, okay So it is like an Alzheimer or a heart disease Or people get problems in their life And diabetes is just one of them And most of the time it is in your genes You know, it is somewhat inherited that you do not come to this world with tonal beta cells And insulin making cells And sometimes your pancreas just fails It could be type one, it could be type two, or it could be type three God knows But whatever the reason is Diabetes is nothing to be ashamed of Most people associate overeating or being obese with type two diabetes But as we discussed before That's not always the case And a lot of times if you do not have the right genetic background You will not become diabetic even if you are overweight or obese So try to not to feed their appetite of trying to And associate your weight with your diabetes So understand that that's nothing to be ashamed of A lot of people without weight problems also have diabetes Now number four is really know your boundaries Because you cannot change other people's minds And they cannot change your mind either So everybody has an opinion And it's okay to be opinionated There is no reason to try to change them So there is no reason to try to argue with anyone As long as they respect your opinion, your respect theirs And that's how it goes And that's how you keep the peace and the happiness And the fifth and the last one Concentrate on your successes Don't talk about your failures Don't talk about how high your A1C was in the past Or how high your blood sugar were in the past Or what happened yesterday Concentrate on today and future And try to replicate those successes And try to talk more about them Because if you talk about your successes You are priming yourself for success But if you keep talking about your failures You are going to prime yourself for failure So the bottom line guys Make sure you be kind to others Make sure you try to educate them If they're open to education Do not mind what other people are thinking all the time Relax, respect other people's opinion Don't be ashamed of diabetes And stay focused and concentrated for the future And remember your successes not your failures So guys, thank you for watching If you liked this video Please like, share and subscribe And we will see you in the next video
