Some of those D' things you always seem to hear....No malice here, they just always seem funny to me.

* Oh, so you're a Diabetic. You can't have sugar can you?
*"You can't eat that!!!!!
* "What do you want to drink with breakfast, want some Orange Juice?"
* "Wanna try this cake, it's sugar free?"
* "Wow, you don't look Diabetic!"
*" I have a friend who died of Diabetes.."
* "They're gonna have a cure for that in the next 5 years."
* "You're low? Do you want some Diet soda or something?"
* "You're Low? Do you need some insulin or something?"
* "You're High? Do you need something sweet?"
*" I see you are taking insulin, are you o.k., are you low?"
* "Oh my, I'm sorry...what a dreadful disease."

The Joy Of Diabetes....

Hi, My name is Bob Hawkinson and I am the author of The Joy of Diabetes...a book about living with diabetes and the mindset I have found it takes to THRIVE with this Disease.. If you or a loved one needs a little help, come visit at www.joyofdiabetes.com
I was diagnosed in 1963 at the age of 13 months and have lived almost 5 decades as a Diabetic. I want to help you take this disease by the horns, and wrestle it to the ground.
Thanks for spending some time with us, and I encourage you to "Live Out Loud with Diabetes".

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM THE MOVIES
1. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from the force.
2. If you start dancing in the street, everyone you meet will know all the steps.
3. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating , but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
4. When you go to bed, everything in the room will still be visible, only slightly blue-ish.
5. Should you decide to difuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.

Notes

You might be a diabetic.......

1.If you are trying to suck the pipes out of the wall at the water fountain to get more water......you might be a diabetic.

2.If you stepped on a  nail yesterday and its still stuck to your foot, and you didn't know it ....you might be diabetic

3.If you feel like you can't get out of bed because you are so tired., and you are at your desk..you might be a diabetic.

4.If you are losing weight by eating Hershey Bars and Sodas....you might be a diabetic.
