I’m right there with you G-Money!
It happens most at the YMCA where I go for adult mens basketball over the lunch period.
We play “shirts” vs. “skins” there - which means that half of the time I’m there my stomach is flying all over the place like a … well, like a fat stomach!
People see my infusion set and start asking questions, then after I say the magic word they tell me that if I lost some weight I’d be cured!
Sometimes I will go into the big explanation of things, but other times I just write them off and move on.
When I do get the comment about “Oh, you have it bad” I give them the pregnancy line.
“No - there’s no ‘level’ of diabetes, no ‘severity’ of your diabetes. It’s more like pregnancy. Either you are, or you’re not. There’s no ‘kinda’ pregnant, or pregnant really bad, either you are, or you are not”.
