If you do get one, I highly suggest going with a Medtronic. They're not as "pretty" as the Animas and whatnot, but it's much more functional. I love the paradigm 722.

Hi all, just thought i'd depress you all with a rant about diabetes.

I have type 1 diabetes.

You might enjoy this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/91142] then.

I went to a friend's birthday once we were just sat about chilling when her mum came in and did the whole birthday cake thing then dissapeared, came back with some for everyone...everyone except me, what was I given? A fucking apple! Plenty of odd looks and sniggers from my friends until the mum said "well arent you diabetic so you cant eat any sugar?" I was currently sat chomping my way through a pack of Haribo...its amazing what people think diabeties involves.

I never got a slice of cake either /sad face

I wouldn't say yay, i'd say a kind of small Woo! xD

Well I've learned a lot about diabetes from reading this thread. I always assumed it was just something about not having enough sugar in your system or something. Well its always good to now more about things.

Yay! we're educational!

My mother gone blind in one eye and lost some of her toes because she neglected her diabetes. My uncle has it too. I guess theres a chance I might get it too if you look at my family, but I must add that both of them consumed at least one bottle of coke every day. Thats pretty much asking for it.

That sucks I don't have diabeetus but I know someone who does and he's an absolute idiot about it I saw him eating a fucking chocolate bar the other day...He just can't control his eating it makes me sick.

Sarcasm is hard on the interwebs. But yes, it does suck some times. Just stay on top of your shit; it's totally manageable.

God bless people with diabetes (and their money, which bought me most of the things I have )

Again, Yaaaaaay! We're useful!

Going off that, are any of you annoyed by that old guy in the Liberty health care commercials? It bugs the hell out of me when he pronounces it that way. I know he's old, but I just want to smack him every time I hear his voice!

 

[Letsrock456]

Im guessing thats an american thing, because over here, we only hear about diabeetes from anti-fat adverts

My thoughts exactly. I don't care he's old, or if he's had a stroke. That is not how you pronounce the damn word!
*sends horde of ravenous Badger-bats to eat the old guy*
Aahhhh...problem solved.
