11 Unhelpful Phrases To Avoid Saying To Someone With Diabetes

“It Is Easy To Diagnose”

Diagnosing diabetes is not a walk in the park. In some cases, it requires a series of blood tests and countless visits to the doctor before a health care provider can make the diagnosis. Some are diagnosed with diabetes at a young age after being misdiagnosed with another condition. Others are diagnosed later on in life after experiencing several health problems. Being diagnosed with diabetes can be a frightening and traumatic experience, especially if it happens suddenly after an emergency visit to the hospital. It is also stressful to receive a diagnosis and wonder how it will affect one's life.
