Thank you. I hadn't put those particular pieces together before and had a "doh!" moment reading this.
I'm constantly amazed at how many people think "being large in public" is an invitation to offer advice / condemnation / opinions / or whatever. Some of the assumptions people make are astounding. Particularly when they see walker and glucometer. I keep my A1Cs under 6, and I was <120lbs (at 5'8") when arthritis became an issue... thank you everso for the unsolicited opinions about my medical history. (I've even gotten it from doctors - one redid my A1Cs multiple times because there's no way I could be this size if I was following my diet, so the machine must be calibrated wrong...)
