It is Diabetes Awareness month this month, so you will be seeing an overflow of diabetes information. You will also see bickering amongst people with diabetes because not everyone believes in the same advocacy efforts. And you know what? That is fine.
When it comes to awareness and advocacy, do you.
If you have a certain passion about something and that’s what you want to advocate about, great, do it. Don’t just jump on the advocacy bandwagon because you are afraid people will look at you weird because you’re not jumping on board with them.
If you choose not to do anything in the month of November, that is perfectly awesome too. However, don’t try and bash people that are.
We need to support each other’s efforts in advocacy. You may not necessarily agree with someone, but who is to say who is right in regards to that particular topic. If you choose not to help them with their advocacy efforts, that is perfectly fine, just please stop bashing each other’s efforts.
Support.
