aibu or was my doctor having a sly dig at my weight

[Foamybanana93]

so basically had an allergic reaction to a fabric plaster, it started weeping so went to the GP yesterday to check if i needed antibiotics, didn't even examine the area just looked at it and said i'll just give you 5 days antibiotics, she then asked if id ever been checked for diabetes and i said no i hadn't, she mumbled on something like because i have an infection i need to be checked for diabetes, can only assume this is a sly dig at my weight as i am a size 16-18, never had any issues before with my GP but this was someone completely new, aibu to feel a bit pissed off with this or am i over reacting

Fat Shaming
Calling people out for being unhealthily overweight such that they are limiting their own lifespan and wrecking the finances of the NHS is nothing I am ashamed of.

Quite funny that you think I'm an old dear

Saying someone is overweight is not fat shaming.

I agree. It is a factual comment like describing someone with blond hair for instance.

Factual but hurtful too. I can not see how it can be dealt with, if any conversation is seeing as shaming.
I said to DD she had to start making healthier food choices, she is 10 slim but getting a belly. She told me to stop body shaming her.

You don't need to have any outward signs of having insulin resistance, pre diabetes or even diabetes. Get tested, you have nothing to lose.

Diabetes can do terrible damage and a cut that isn't healing properly is an indicator. Be thankful that you're being tested.

I know someone whose diabetes went undiagnosed, they were largely asymptomatic until some very severe symptoms started and the doctor ordered a test. They now have nerve damage to their colon which has resulted in faecal incontinence. Incidentally, they are not overweight.

Facts don’t care about feelings

I’m a size 14 and my BMI classes me as Obese, so unless you are extremely tall or it’s muscle that fills out that size 16-18 she wasn’t having a sly dig, she was doing her job and very obviously noted something that along with your weight alerted her to possible diabetes....

I’d be thanking her, not getting upset about it.
