Letter from grouchy mother in law to her diabetic soon to be daughter in law

In case you haven't read or seen....

There is a letter being circulated by a grouchy mother in law to her soon to be daughter in law. this letter has taken the internet by storm because of super uber snobbery attitude of the mother in law. What most media out lets are not really publicizing is the soon to be daughter in law is DIABETIC. I will make the broad assumption guessing Type 1. This grouchy women accuses her daughter of flaunting her disease for sympathy and makes light of an actual hypoglycemic event in which occurred. In so many words, the grouchy woman states that the daughter in law should know how to prevents these situations to not cause embarrassment to the family.  (oh dear!!)

I would encourage all members of the diabetic community to write this women and let our voices be heard from the diabetic view. I heard about this while driving to work and was super appalled by this.....

this is the link.

Money and titilation. I read a different paper and if I found they were doing something like this I would not be reading it.
Perhaps this discussion should simply be made redundant....as further discourse simply becomes counter effective!
