Random: This Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island Exists To Raise Diabetes Awareness

This is amazing! if I had animal crossing I would check it out right away!

Oh my god the headline killed me, I'll have to check out that island though, my sister has diabetes

Currently reading this while my blood sugar is low, so will check it out once my glucose tablets kick in!

My daughter was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes just over a year ago, it’s been a tough year! This has made me smile 😊

I was diagnosed as Type 1 Diabetic just a couple months ago in my 20s and it honestly turned my life upside down. I absolutely love this and will be checking it out. There's a couple of sort of diabetes jokes I can see from the screenshots alone.

Also thank you and well done to @KateGray for doing the research and explaining the difference between the types of diabetes. I've read so many "mainstream" news articles about diabetes who don't seem to realise there's anything other than Type 2 because it's way more common. I'm sure that if any other Type 1s read this, they can relate to the frustration they get from misconceptions and Type 2s get frustrated by the stigma that gets attached to them.

My type 2 beetis is entirely my own doing through gross personal negligence and apathy. Don't be like me, kids. Love yourself enough to make healthy choices ♥️

This is amazing ❤️ Will definitely be checking this out!

I fear that I may have contracted the candy blight myself, but I haven't had a medical check up for the last 10 years. I gotta do better.

I don't actually play Animal Crossing, so I can't visit the island. But just by the island existing and creating a conversation around it, at least I'm able feel the adequate amount of shame that may push me to get that done someday.

Diagnosed type 1 about 10 years ago now. I probably won't check the island out, but its nice to see some representation. Especially nice to note the difference between type 1 and type 2, way to go @KateGray

This is so sweet it's giving me diabetes just looking at it.

Shame there is never awareness raised for things like cortical vision impairment or childhood apraxia of speech.

@Fizza You don't already own New Horizons?

@Fizza Funny thing, I pick a game over it too. I picked luigi's mansion 3...I regret nothing.

@Snatcher
You made the right choice my friend.

@ToniPSB @travisbrowning I'm glad I did it justice!! I can imagine it's frustrating to have to tell people that sometimes you're just born with it
