| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Mike, T1, Chicago burbs, T1 since 1984 #DSMA https://t.co/TfGghGmIEv |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q1. What is the most common diabetes misconception you hear and how do you react when you hear it? #DSMA |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A1. You just need to eat less and exercise more. #dsma |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW @StephenSType1 @YOGA_O @MrMikeLawson @mikebarry44 Triple Mike effect?!? NO Way! #dsma |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q1. That diabetes is easy to manage, or that it is even reversible or curable #dsma |
 | Kelly / Diabetes @diabetesalish Hey, #dsma! |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O @tmana Soup's always good - it opens up the pores and makes you cooler ... #DSMA |
| Mx. Renegade is in GHOUL MODE 👻 @MxRenegade @DiabetesSocMed A1. "I'm type 1; it's not like I asked for this." NAH BRO. Full stop. No one "asks" for #diabetes or any other chronic illness, for that matter. Stop casting shade at T2 folks. #DSMA #overit |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q1: omg where to start! So many ignorant comments. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @JanJava: A1. You just need to eat less and exercise more. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @RenegadeLib: @DiabetesSocMed A1. "I'm type 1; it's not like I asked for this." NAH BRO. Full stop. No one "asks" for #diabetes or any other chronic illness, for that matter. Stop casting shade at T2 folks. #DSMA #overit |
| Kelly / Diabetes @diabetesalish @Heather_RoseW @danamlewis Xoxo! #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama A1: I hear all sorts of things as a CDE. The one that seems to be most common is: "How did I get diabetes, I don’t eat sweets?” And we talk about the genetics & that sugar consumption doesn’t cause diabetes. #DSMA |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q1 #DSMA That diabetes is about taking meds or, *the horror*, shots. That’s the utter tip of the iceberg. We are Titanic. |
| Jenn C @JennMamaBear Q1: Recently it's been that T2 changes into T1 when you start insulin. I usually respond with a brief definition of "auto-immune". #dsma |
| Type 2 Musings - Corinna Cornejo @type2musings Aloha to all participating in tonight's #dsma. I am Corinna living w #T2D since 2009 in Hawaii. |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed @RenegadeLib You went internal with that one! I hear ya. Any other within-community misconceptions? #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @zsquaredmama: A1: I hear all sorts of things as a CDE. The one that seems to be most common is: A1: I hear all sorts of things as a CDE.

| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @mikebarry44: Q1 #DSMA That diabetes is about taking meds or, *the horror*, shots. That’s the utter tip of the iceberg. We are Titanic. |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q1. That it's our own fault. This is said even to T1s, and sometimes even to T2s by T1s #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @JennMamaBear: Q1: Q1: Recently it's been that T2 changes into T1 when you start insulin. I usually respond with a brief definition of "auto-immune". #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 I reply that, ummm, No... fake news RT @StephenSType1: Q1. That diabetes is easy to manage, or that it is even reversible or curable #dsma |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings Q1 That people who inject or pump insulin have the "bad" kind. My shortest answer, depending on circumstances, is "all types of diabetes are very serious and challenging to live with. People with diabetes can and do have amazing and long lives." #dsma |
| Tim @metacman Q1 “You can’t have any sweets, right?“ “No worries, I can. just have to count the carbs, take insulin and don’t overload” #DSMA |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica 1. That there is no magic fix to keep your diabetes managed. I think "not that again" when people ask if I "have my diabetes under control yet." #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava RT @mikebarry44: Q1 #DSMA That diabetes is about taking meds or, *the horror*, shots. That’s the utter tip of the iceberg. We are Titanic. |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama A1: My favorite one is “I don’t want to become addicted to insulin.” from someone with Type 2 diabetes, but needs insulin due to gluco-toxicity. Makes me think of all my friends with Type 1 and smile. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed The classic "but Hallie Berry did it"? #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @JennMamaBear: Q1: Q1: Recently it's been that T2 changes into T1 when you start insulin. I usually respond with a brief definition of "auto-immune". #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @tmana: Q1. That it's our own fault. This is said even to T1s, and sometimes even to T2s by T1s #dsma |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q1: The two I hate the most are of you change your diet you won’t need insulin and “so you just take insulin and it’s fine. Right?” I have to take a deep breath before I respond. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @StephenSType1: I reply that, ummm, No... fake news RT @StephenSType1: I reply that, ummm, No... fake news RT @StephenSType1: Q1. That diabetes is easy to manage, or that it is even reversible or curable #dsma |
| Perry Clanton @paclanton A1: I hear many things cause, and cure diabetes. Stay away from those and all is well. If not, eat a lot of xyz. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @StephenSType1 Of course that depends on the type of diabetes. There are those who consider a remission of T2 a "reversal" or a "cure" #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A1. Oh, you grow out of T1 and become T2 as you get older. #dsma |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW @YOGA_O @StephenSType1 @MrMikeLawson @mikebarry44 It's on, just don't forget to add the #, #dsma! |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings Q1 Also cinnamon, okra, carbs, sugar, and my pet is diabetic... #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @metacman: Q1 “You can’t have any sweets, right?“ “No worries, I can. just have to count the carbs, take insulin and don’t overload” #DSMA |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama I get this a lot too. We start a lot of insulin in the hospital. “So now I have Type 1?” Or even better, “so now my diabetes is worse, or the bad kind?” Same convo after.#DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @SweetHiyachica: 1. That there is no magic fix to keep your diabetes managed. I think "not that again" when people ask if I "have my diabetes under control yet." #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A1 - The most common is that I can control my diabetes through diet and exercise, which typically leads to another episode of the Food Police. #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @StephenSType1 "Remission" should probably be considered euglycemic #bg readings and A1c without lifestyle intervention... #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 I was told this by a nurse in the hospital after diagnosis RT @JanJava: A1. Oh, you grow out of T1 and become T2 as you get older. #dsma |
 | Molly Johannes @mollyjoh_T1D Late to #DSMA but can’t stick around, just wanted to jump in and say hello - been WAY too long since I last participated! Intro: Molly from MA but new to VA, T1D for 21 years, blogger at https://t.co/w4DxoangDI |
| Type 2 Musings - Corinna Cornejo @type2musings @DiabetesSocMed A1. Most common misconception re: #diabetes is that it's preventable. Nope. Regardless of type too many factors to make this so. My reaction? Depends. Mostly I just say "nope." Rarely do I engage though. Tired of being a target for rage. #DSMA |
 | EiCan 💙 @eican 100 % all the comments about being "allowed" to eat something. Soooooo much ignorance about what type 1 really is and how so much affects BG besides food/ |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 @Heather_RoseW @StephenSType1 @YOGA_O @MrMikeLawson “10,000 mikes” from “No One Here Gets Out Alive”, Jim Morrison bio. #DSMA |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings @zsquaredmama Thanks for hanging out with us insulin-dependent folks ;-) #dsma |

| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O Good combo! #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @StephenSType1 ...usually after dramatic weight loss, or bariatric surgery, or significant lifestyle modification #dsma |
| Chris Memering @zsquaredmama Truth!! #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 @diabetesalish @KellyRawlings It's also the Kelly & Kelly Show tonight... #dsma |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW @mollyjoh_T1D Thank you for being here! Wonderful to have your perspective included. #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @StephenSType1 @JanJava I've heard that, too. The common misconception that only children can have T1, that only kids can get new T1 #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q2. What do you wish people knew about diabetes? #DSMA Feel free to start with #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes … |
 | NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d To be totally meta, the misconception I hear about is that #diabetics are always reacting to something. Education needs to improve, but I think we are more powerful if we are proactive instead of reactive #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava @StephenSType1 @JanJava We need to teach in Medical Science classes! #dsma |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q2. What do you wish people knew about diabetes? #DSMA Feel free to start with #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes … |
| Kelly / Diabetes @diabetesalish Q1: for starters 1. That I was born with D 2 Shocked I didn’t “grow out” of D 3. Mon must have feed me too much sugar as a child Sidebar: don’t you dare blame my mom! 4. I can’t eat that, “that” meaning sugar/anything w/sugar 5. That I look good for having #diabetes. #WTF #dsma |
| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings Agree! https://t.co/FBiKdPNPgX #dsma |

| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q1: The other one I hate is people thinking you get it from eating too much sugar. Nothing like an insta photo full of snacks and candy with #diabetes #DSMA |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q2. That there are many types of diabetes, & what works for one (diet type, medication type, exercise, etc) may not work for another #dsma |

| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d @DiabetesSocMed A2: I wish people knew that I am still the same person, I just play by different rules now. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Sorry, that most insulin-dependent PWD can NEVER "get off" insulin #dsma |
 | Tim T @Teeve RT @diabetesalish: Q2: Q2: #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes is hard work that is never ending ! #dsma |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW @Voicemomma Thank you for joining the conversation today! #dsma Sending you and your dad hugs. |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A2, part 1/3 - How unrelenting it is - and it’s not JUST the 24/7 managing of the condition, it’s also the anxiety about supply logistics, affordability (HA!) and the stigma as being seen as a drain on society. #DSMA |
| Molly Johannes @mollyjoh_T1D Q1: Most common diabetes misconception I hear is that I can’t eat or drink sugary foods...I usually react by educating the individual and informing them that sugar is actually necessary sometimes (e.g., bring up low blood sugar) #DSMA |
| Brianna @TheChronicCon Q2: #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes is so so so complicated and unless you have a thoughtful question about me and my personal diabetes I don’t wanna hear your opinion! #DSMA |
| Mx. Renegade is in GHOUL MODE 👻 @MxRenegade A2. #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes isn't just a goddamned pity party all the time. There are aspects SPECIFICALLY ABOUT BEING DIABETIC that I consider my strengths& significant to who I am as a person& what I can contribute to my communities #DSMA |

| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A2, part 2, In the US - the Tyranny of Bean Counters - forces us to spend inordinate swaths of time, pressing 1, then 1 again, then 2 … jumping thru the hoops having to appeal denials ... #DSMA |
| Kelly / Diabetes @diabetesalish Q2: #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes means A lot of thought, carb calculations, insulin, and piercing of flesh went into me eating this cupcake, please let me enjoy it. #dsma |

| A Fresh POV for You! @AFreshPOVforYou @DiabetesSocMed "Type 2 is the kind that people cause themselves." I put my educator hat on and try to dispel the myth and educate. Most people are surprised when I tell them #T2D is genetic. I think it is lack of education and media. #dsma |
| Kelly / Diabetes @diabetesalish RT @JennMamaBear: #IWishThatPeopleKnewThatDiabetes Can be a pain in the arse and can be an easy walk... all in the same hour. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q2. To follow up Q1 reply, diabetes isn't Set it & forget it-- it requires resilience. Also empathy from those who interact with it #dsma |
| Mike Ratrie @YOGA_O A2, part 3, … speaking w Client Care Specialists whose real job is to pound you into submission. “Oh, it’s been 91 days since you’ve seen your endo? Then, no we can’t fill your prescription for the same supplies you’ve been receiving for a decade.” It is truly maddening #DSMA |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q4. I have learned SO MUCH about advocating for myself and others from my diabetes-related online interactions #dsma |
| Chris Clem T1D @TwitchyBetes I absolutely hate this one, too. It’s so common and ignorant when people do it.i created @DiabetesMisinfo to pick at it. 😏 |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Totally understandable. Thank you for joining us! Don't forget the #! #dsma |

| Chris Clem T1D @TwitchyBetes #IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes isn’t curable. It seems to keep many people void of empathy and understanding, thinking we caused our own problem. #dsma |

| NextWaveT2D @nextwavet2d A5: It’s my weekly stream of consciousness response hour. And I love many of the other responses as they come in. I find it fascinating if someone else has the same reaction as I do, but love even more the differing points of view. My favorite #dsma response: THIS! |

| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica A6. BTW, if you capitalize the words within a hashtag (such as IWishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes), screen readers will read the hashtag correctly--important for people who have visual or reading disabilities. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @DiabetesSocMed Hang around for a bit. Sometimes we freestyle chat long beyond closing thoughts (CT) #dsma |

| Kelly Rawlings, MPH, PWD @KellyRawlings @tmana @type2musings @AFreshPOVforYou I think peers & near-peer education could do much to communicate about the ABCs & the 9 checks/tests that are hallmarks of gold-standard diabetes care (and can be performed and/or provided by referral by any prescriber). That doesn't address all the disparities, of course #dsma |

 | John @joltdude RT @Voicemomma: @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA Last week I'm listening to the latest episode and the guest, who is donating a kidney to an unknown person, started to make a case that the person who gets it is likely be diabetic, which is tied to obesity which could be considered a lifestyle choice. 2/ |
| John @joltdude RT @Voicemomma: @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA Penn and co-host stopped her and referenced me and said that there are diabetics that are stigmatized by that idea and that are not obese. I about jumped out of my chair. Sometimes people listen and learn. 3/end |
| John @joltdude RT @Voicemomma: @DiabetesSocMed #DSMA #diabetesisnotajoke Can I tell you a quick story? I had previously emailed Penn Jillette after he made sugar=diabetes jokes on his podcast and he had referenced it a couple of times. 1/ |
