1. This Site would be more accurate when listing Diabetes as a "Health Condition", to specify whether it is referring to T1DM(Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus) or the other Disease(There are 2 different Diseases in Diabetes), called Type 2 Diabetes(IRD).
After-all, we would not want someone who is motivated, proactive medically, who tests their blood sugars at least 5xDay, who care about the carbohydrates that they consume and know how to balance them, who eat many fresh vegetables and other healthy foods, who take their medications, who exercise, who have a good BMI to "match-up" with someone who is obese, who rather sit on the couch watching television rather than exercising, who prefers heavily salted fried foods that come in plastic bags, who might smoke cigarettes, who do not like/want to check their blood sugars, who have high A1C's,who do not want to take any responsibility in their own health.

2. The "not" is a typo in the second paragraph. Please disregard!!

3. Why did you italicize little people? Your use of italics conveys disbelief. Are you having a hard time believing that little people date? or that they are called little people?

Either way, poor form on your part.

4. Type 1 does not always equal an active, fit, carb counting, veggie eating, blood sugar testing bastion of good health practices. (I'm type 1, and I do a good job with it, but I'm certainly not all those things most of the time).

Type 2 does not always equal a couch-hogging, smoking, french-fries-eating slob. (My fit, active, vegeterian 65 year old father just developed type 2)

The stereotypes are really unnecessary, unpleasant, and inaccurate. Let's stop with them, OK?
