As a girl who grew up with type 1 diabetes, seeing these tasteless jokes in here just remind me of the shitty time kids can have when they feel different to other kids and get singled out for something they can't control.

So what if its a gigantic mega-corp, they're doing a good thing here for children.

Disgusting fucking 'jokes'. Shitty people.
