@ganye91 The amount of times I have heard “I was only joking!” As someone makes a jibe about my daughter’s diabetes & then backtracking when she gets upset. This is Grace, diagnosed 2 weeks after her 2nd birthday and now aged 18. I am so proud of her and all she has achieved .

If diabetes is the joke, what is the punchline? Gracie was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 1, not through eating too many sweets or chocolate but because her body decided to attack the cells of the pancreas. Unfortunately Easter is normally a prime time for jokes from all sorts of people linking indulgence and sweets with the condition. Jokes are often seen as harmless, however they perpetuate the stigma and misunderstanding of serious conditions, in this case diabetes. Diabetes in general is a condition where a person is unable to handle the breakdown products of carbohydrates (sugar) in a way a non-diabetic person would. This is important because the cells in our body rely on sugar to get energy, but this has to be done in a controlled way. People with diabetes have an issue with insulin specifically. There are many different types of diabetes including gestational diabetes, which is seen in pregnancy, and steroid induced diabetes, which is brought on by medications. The two most well-known types however are type 1 and type 2. What doesn’t cause diabetes is eating too much chocolate! It ranges from your genetics to viral loads and even your vitamin D levels! In 2012, diabetes in total was the direct cause of 1.5 million deaths globally. Often, it can be deadly before you’ve even released you are diabetic!   What is more worrying when seeing public figures making jokes about diabetes is that there is increasing evidence of significant mental health concerns within children with type 1 diabetes with nearly 40% of type 1 diabetic children seeking assistance from mental health support teams. Gracie has completely owned her condition, playing sports and even going on TV. Diabetes hasn't stopped her doing anything she wants and won't stop her from eating chocolate eggs today! #foryou #fyp #chocolate #diabetes #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #Easter #easteregg #ysk #easteregg #t1d #type1warrior

@_rebeccarooo 😡🤦🏼‍♀️

The man who ruined my MH and made me relate to TTPD more than I ever wanted to gives dating advice on reddit :) MEEENNNNNNNNNN.

That moment you cry down the phone at a colleague because by that point, quite frankly you have had enough and if you didn’t have rent to pay you’d quit on the spot!

@_rebeccarooo Bet Dan is as a tad surprised 😂😂

Dont mind me walking into work as a serious professional after listening to Guess on repeat for the last 20 mins.

@_rebeccarooo I hear you talk like that again, admin will not be happy! You are not worthless far from it! Sending you all the love and hugs I can ❤️

Am I worthless, just have low self esteem or really, really tired? What a fun Friday night game!

@JamesBlunt @JamesBlunt Are you available September 2025 for my daughter’s wedding? Need a decent singer but can’t get one so thought I’d ask you!

Damn - my gig in Helsinki on 7th July has been cancelled because the arena is kaput. Anyone need a wedding singer that weekend?

@F1mech It’s all down to the front jack that John built 😉😂

Todays pitstops were just 👌🏾 #werunthepitlane #chinesegp

@_rebeccarooo Sending you so many H hugs as you can manage xx There’s also snuggles and purrs galore from Max and Danny. He’s getting ready to be delivered to you ☺️

I miss twitter circles so instead you can just all know that I'm really struggling today.

@_rebeccarooo I need all the help and support you can give! I wanna go home already 😂

Its staff conference day, pray or something for me and @OMG_Its_Ma

I just visited Verdetto Lounge. This is what I thought: #feeditback reviews.feeditback.com/scorecard/eFTd… Had a lovely breakfast, great food and super service thanks to Joey!

Rishi Sunak, "Our plan is working" Sir Michael Marmot, "We're starting to suffer Victorian diseases.. Universal Credit pays 70% of the cost of essentials.. If you're on Universal Credit we guarantee you will get sick because we don't give you enough money to eat healthily, to heat your home" "Britain has become a poor country with a few rich people.. It's worse to be poor in Britain than in most other European countries. Poor people in Britain have a lower income than Slovenia'"

@OptimalTrog @_rebeccarooo Pumba would certainly approve but Simba looks like he’s going to cry or be sick 😂

@_rebeccarooo @OMG_Its_Ma Look how happy simba and pumba are on your T-shirt they certainly approve 😎

One thing for it then ini

@sainsburys No worries. Thanks

@OMG_Its_Ma Due to the high amounts of turkeys ordered during this time, we're unable to make some orders. I'm sorry about the inconvenience this may cause. Stephen

@sainsburys how can you not have enough turkeys? Just had the receipt for my delivery and I’m now having chicken for Christmas dinner tomorrow! A bit disappointed. I don’t go into store to shop due to my anxiety in crowded places so I won’t be going to try to get one today 😢

@sainsburys Why was I allowed to add it to my shopping then if they were unavailable to buy online?

@OMG_Its_Ma Hey there, unfortunately fresh turkeys are no longer available to purchase online, however limited stock is still available in stores. Alternatively, check out our great range of other festive centrepieces. Stephen

@_rebeccarooo 😂 I remember you calling me to tell me about it! I’m still annoyed at Jeff for not kidnapping David Tennant!!!!

@OMG_Its_Ma Broom + soup memories are seared into my brain. Still livid actually... hahaha

Hello, its the time of the year where I (once again) tell you that I saved the dr who cast from asbestos, youre welcome. @OMG_Its_Ma 👀❤️🫡
