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.
@Danrenfroe2016 Yes this. I wish more people understood. My partner is legally blind. They can make out colours and shapes, and can read huge text close up.
Less than 10% of blind people see just black, with most having light perception, or being able to see shapes or having very little peripheral vision.
Sadly too many people are ignorant and judgemental. My partner uses a guide dog to get around, and you should see the looks we get when they use their phone in public. What they don't understand is they have all the accessibility features turned on, so they're basically seeing a couple letters at a time.
They also have a switch, and play some slow paced games using the zoom feature like ACNH.
