What I Love about Diabetes!!
Ok so we all complain about diabetes but there is some good that comes from the bad right??
Heres what I love about diabetes..
1. I get to explain to any one that will listen that I have diabetes and that I am fine
2. I get to get a pull the "I have a low" card and eat a snack in the middle of the work day.
3. I get to explain what my pump is to any one that asks "what is that?"
4. I get to carry a GIANT purse every where I go.
5. I get to be on first name bases with all of the pharmacy workers.
I love diabetes because I have to live with it the rest of my life!!!

1. The drive to be a healthy person, and a better me, so I can spend more years with my loved ones...
2. That, sometimes, it's easier for me to deny food from pushy people by simply saying "No, thanks, I have Diabetes."
3. That I have discovered, and tasted, so many new foods on my quest to find healthier alternatives that won't spike me.
4. That my control over Diabetes, and the quality of life I allow myself, has inspired my husband, entire family, and friends, to take care of themselves... or to take control of their own Diabetes.
5. That, because I need to be healthy and control my Diabetes, I now know more about my body than I have ever known in my entire life... and I feel the most comfortable with it.

Great list of loves. I could also add:
I get to be curator of my very own meter museum that goes back 20 years
I get to develop a great (and dark) sense of humor, after all, how else should one look at the scene of the crime after a gusher
I get to own friendly equipment - sometimes my meter greets me by saying, "HI"

haha my meter museum is more like a meter graveyard... all the busted meters i own from getting wet to smashed... i'm not too friendly to my meters... i've jumped into a lake and completely forgot about my monitor in my pocket 4 times and i've dropped one in the toilet once when it fell out of my coveralls

OMG!! They posted this on facebook and they are not being very nice on there.. Man people take things the wrong way some times. I was meaning for it to be a nice way to share how diabetes has good effect on our lives. I am so sorry if I made any one upset by my post.
