Seated next to their tantrum-prone son, I was told not to eat because &#8220;the crinkling and chewing&#8221; might upset him. I tried to be polite at first, but when my blood sugar began to drop and both parents doubled down\u2014going as far as telling the flight attendant not to serve me\u2014I\u2019d had enough. I made it clear: my health wasn&#8217;t up for debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tension in the row was thick, but so was the support from nearby passengers once they realized what was happening. As I explained my medical condition and took the snack box I needed, the parents finally backed off\u2014though not without some eye rolls and passive-aggressive comments. Their son, ironically, was too busy playing on his iPad and eating Skittles to notice anything at all. That flight reminded me of something important: advocating for your health isn\u2019t selfish\u2014it\u2019s necessary. And no one\u2019s comfort is more important than your right to take care of yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>when a pair of entitled parents tried to stop me from managing my Type 1 Diabetes.
