What Does a Diabetic Look Like?
I posted this on my WordPress blog & thought that it was worth sharing here. We could all use a good laugh!

I mentioned in my Funny Searches post that someone had searched using the term “what does a diabetic look like.” Unfortunately, I lost that screen shot when my computer died. Yesterday, someone was searching again for pictures of diabetics so I have new screenshots.
.
The very top search on the first picture was “pictures of diabetics.” Then we had a slightly different search and someone searched for “pictures of someone who has had gastroparesis.” That one is towards the bottom of the second picture and I highlighted that one. If you go up 4 from that, you will see “picture diabetic.”
.
I really don’t understand why someone would think we look different. Like I said in my other post, go to TuDiabetes and see what some of the members look like. We come in a pretty wide variety and I am really not sure what we should look like!

A few years ago I went to a hand clinic for my trigger finger. The physician's assistant was taking my history and I told him I had Type 1 diabetes. He ss\aid, "so do I". And I immediately replied, "but you don't look diabetic".

Of course we are cuter Doris. Just look at your picture, who could possibly say that you weren't cute! We just can't type!

Yes, your granddaughter is really cute Doris. She must look just like grams! I hope she wasn't looking at your meter when that pic was taken.
