Do you ever wonder what your life would be like without diabetes?
I do, so I've been wondering what I would do if I had a whole day in which I didn't have to think about Diabetes, or suffer the consequences of not thinking about it.
I'm still thinking about this, but thought I'd post it and see what you all have to say.

I don't think i'd be the same person without diabetess!! everyone knowss me as the diabetic alwayss attached to my pump!! If i had a day without diabetes i would just be happy not having to worry about checking my blood sugar and just eat without bolusing and counting carbs!
I think i would go to the mall and eat from all the different options in the food court, ohh + skittles and sweedish fish!
ANd i would also dance like all day without taking breakss!!!

I probably would splurge a little on what I ate, but I think I would still check my blood all the time just to see normal BGs no matter what I did. Because nothing would make me happier than seeing that, I think.

It would be just such a relief not to calculate carbs, poke the fingers and thinking about shots...just that alone would make my day! I don't think I would do anything else different because I do not cut short on things because I am diabetic. I go on all day hikes and I if I want popcorn I eat it anyways.;) i am not the marathon type so that won't bother me;)

I'd be sitting right next to you Ken!!! Pig out - and not guilty with what I was eating - well - except for some weight gain - but I'll go for a run / walk afterwards (and not have to adjust my basal settings in my pump - whoo! whoo!).

It would be great to have a day of no pills. No stomach aches from the pills. I would eat a big pancake breakfast, go for a long all day bike ride and have an ice cold beer and then I would go to bed and get a full night of sleep without worrying about going low in the middle of the night

I don't think I would change much really because I'm really enjoying how I have been feeling. I would still hit the gym. The night crew there would probably put in a missing person report if I was a no show. I would do walk or run depending which day it was. I WOULD MOST DEFINITELY have a large sicillian pizza and all the real Pepsi I could consume. So yeah I would cheat on the junk a little lol

And soft pretzels...I havent had one since July. I would have many. I would spend the 48 hours after my 24 hours trying to burn all the carbs off lol

Alisha, It would be a dream come true. First I'd have a dinner party invite friends and family- eat anything and everything.
Carbs- pasta, rice, pepsi, and snicker bars. maybe compete in a marathon and go to new York's chinatown.
