Funny Stuff
Diabetes isn't fun and games, but let's face it -- sometimes you just have to laugh. And studies have shown that laughter may actually be good for diabetes control.
So in that spirit, here are a few of our favorite funny spots that deal with the lighter side of diabetes:
- From the best twenty-something Aussie site around, Reality Check, we get Lambo's weekly top 7 list (don't miss "Top 7 Dumb Things Said While Having a Hypo").
- Award-winning CDE and author Theresa Garnero, who is also a dLife columnist, is a gifted cartoonist. Check out her diabetes cartoons.
- For a little poetic fun, read "Dr. Seuss's Fun with Diabetes" by the always insightful and inspired Amy Tenderich of Diabetes Mine. (Amy also authors "Straight Up With Amy" here at dLife.com.)
- From Diabetes Monitor, a little tongue-in-cheek humor that debuted on April Fool's Day a few years back: "Managed Care Finds Cure for Diabetes."

I am not sure if I am posting correctly...never did a blog before but i just found out that i have a blood sugar level of 110 and HDL of 26 - i am a 32 yr. old female. My doctor said that 126 is Diabetes and i need to diet and excercise. I am on Weight Wathchers already but am curious if there are food i should avoid (besides sugar). Many sites push starches but I thought starches were bad? Doctors tell you to diet but if they told me to eat this and this and this...it would be so much more beneficial for me...is there a diet plan set up and geared toward helping to lower blood sugar and increase HDL?
I just loved all of these! :O) thanks for the smile!
