NEW COMIC! Diabetes Scams and Proclamations! This is a follow-up comic to my comic “Dangerous Diabetes Medical Advice” where a person with several accounts under the umbrella of EmbodimentCelestial, told a little girl, (as well as others) that he can cure type 1 diabetes. When I posted that comic, I was interested to know what experiences you guys have had with diabetes scams and people proclaiming they have the cure for different types of diabetes. I was overwhelmed by how many of you responded, and so I created this comic. Doing these community comics and comics where I share my life with diabetes is called “Graphic Medicine”. It’s a fairly new field, but it is “the use of comics to tell personal stories of illness and health” and “the interaction between the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare”. Comics have a way of being approachable for people of all ages, as well as having the ability to communicate emotions, thoughts and feelings, as well as technical information in a very visceral and discernible way. I love this kind of comic, where I’m able to share your voices and your experiences from different countries around the world. Thank you to everyone that replied! I wish I could have included everyone in this comic. But feel free to comment below and tell your stories being approached by someone with a diabetes scam. Scams and proclamations are not ok. They need to be called out, and stopped in their tracks. There are very real and dire consequences for anyone living with any type of diabetes, should they follow their medical misinformation! #missdiabetes #diabetes #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #illustration #comic #webcomic
