A few days ago, a video attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. In the video, a woman is eating at a restaurant and preparing to give herself a tube of insulin.
Just as she was about to start, a waiter immediately rushed over and shouted in a hurried tone, "Don't take drugs!"
The lady quickly explained that she was not taking drugs, but taking insulin. However, this misunderstanding has caused many people to question and reflect. Some netizens believe that the lady is deliberately attracting attention, and some people even directly accuse her of "posing for photos".
Is this a deliberate drama, or is it a last resort of an ordinary diabetic patient?
Tracing back to the source, the key to this incident was that the woman was a type 1 diabetic. As a common metabolic disease, patients with type 1 diabetes rely on exogenous insulin to stay alive.
That is, before each meal, they have to regulate their blood sugar levels by injecting insulin.
For the average person, this may just be a simple everyday action. But for people with diabetes, it can be a challenging and arduous process.
Not only should you always keep an eye on changes in your blood sugar and inject yourself with insulin in a timely manner, but you should also be careful at all times to prevent dangerous conditions such as hypoglycemia.
Not to mention, this kind of injection, which requires frequent injections, often has a serious impact on the quality of life of patients.
Even when dining in public, they have to find hidden corners and do it alone. This not only brings a lot of inconvenience to their daily life, but also the psychological pressure can be imagined.
So, why did things get to this point? To some extent, it also reflects the stereotype of "normal people" in our society.

Many people's understanding of diabetes is still superficial, and they will even equate it with drug abuse, drug abuse and other illegal behaviors. When you see someone injecting in public, your first reaction is "don't take drugs."
This undoubtedly increases the psychological burden of diabetic patients, and also makes them feel discrimination and prejudice from society.
What's more, some netizens even directly characterized the lady's behavior as "posing", accusing her of deliberately attracting attention. This stereotype and misunderstanding of things has undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to the lives of such patients.
In response to this incident, I think we should treat such patients with a more tolerant and understanding attitude. After all, they are fighting a tough battle against the disease and need the support and understanding of society.
On the one hand, we need to strengthen the knowledge of chronic diseases such as diabetes, so that more people can understand the symptoms and treatment methods of these diseases, and eliminate prejudices and misunderstandings about related behaviors.
On the other hand, we should also set up some amenities in public places to create a more friendly medical environment for such patients and reduce their living burden.
Only in this way can we truly understand and respect these people who are struggling with the disease, and give them the care and support they deserve.
Let them no longer feel lonely and helpless when facing their own difficulties, but can bravely face the challenges of life.
