Recently, a woman we’ll call Anna was asked to be a bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding. Anna confided that she was a Type 1 Diabetic who uses external blood sugar and insulin devices, one on each arm.
When the bridal party was trying on dresses, the bride confessed that she wanted them to wear sleeveless gowns and asked Anna to not wear her medical devices.
Anna should politely decline the invitation to the wedding. If her sister cares “more about her aesthetic wants than your medical needs,” you don’t need to be there.
