No Worries. Be Happy.

I had a lot of fun writing up a Diabetic’s Version of “Hey, it’s OK!” as seen in Glamour, so I thought I’d do another round. Feel free to contribute in the comments!

Hey, it’s OK…

… to yell at your insulin pump when it beeps at you.

… to eat cupcakes. Everyday. (Well, OK, maybe not everyday).

… to test your blood sugar five times in a row when you have a good reading in order to get your meter’s average down. It won’t do anything for your actual A1C, but at least it will make you feel better temporarily!

… to wonder why everything in your purse is black (phone, keys, wallet, glucose meter case… no wonder they call it a black hole!)

… to drink juice when you’re not having a low blood sugar. Mimosas are my friend.

… to sometimes think, “You mean I have to do this for rest of my life? FOR SERIOUSLY?” and then want to smack your head against the wall. Don’t do that last part though – it hurts.

… to think your insulin pump is cooler than their insulin pump. (Edit: yes, this is a repeat from last time – but it’s a worthy repeat!)

… to totally not want to blog about diabetes. Or think about it or talk about it, for that matter.

… to be all “WTF!” about stupid things that people say.

… to think you’re the most awesomest person on the planet! (Because you are, and everyone should know it).
