Explaining what Diabetes feels like to Non-D Folk
Hey everyone!
To see my full blog filled with goofy photos and videos check it out at http://dancethrubeetus.blogspot.com/
Everyone always asks me "Diabetes? What's that? What is it like having diabetes?" Sometimes I pretend I'm a Certified Diabetes Educator and pull out my trusty white board and flashcards but that doesn't seem to get many good responses. It's like I am speaking Swahili, which I can't.
So, I thought up different ways to explain what the big D feels like to our non-D friends, family and strangers on the street. It starts as a bit of a rant and ends with me singing. Not quite sure how that happened but enjoy!
Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing. In the short time watching that video, I laughed, teared up, and had many "that's so true" moments. You are an inspiration!

I am so happy you liked my video! It's always fun getting a little goofy sometimes!
Thank you, that really touches my heart. Like one of my favorite Canadian TV personality Red Green once said "Remember, I'm pulling for ya, we're all in this together"
