Just because...

Just because I am diabetic

Doesn’t mean I can’t eat sweets

Doesn’t mean I can’t do sports

Doesn’t mean I am over weight

Doesn’t mean I am less healthy than you

Doesn’t mean I can’t do what you can do

Doesn’t mean I ate too much sugar

Doesn’t mean I can’t fulfill my dreams

Doesn’t mean I am lazy

Doesn’t mean I am contagious

Doesn’t mean I don’t take care of myself

Doesn’t mean I am going to die young

I am glad I am who I am so

DON’T STEREOTYPE ME!!
