Lieutenant Frog Skin, Lieutenant Seaweed , grab a helmet, a rifle and fall in. We strike at dawn.

Just when I was starting to worry that a cure was very, very far off, I just received word from the battlefields that these two brave new recruits have joined the ranks in the fight against diabetes. But fear not. They are not alone. Broken into platoons via category, our army looks like this:

Foods: grapes, brown rice, pumpkins, honey, black tea, red wine, bitter melon

Animals: pigs, lizard spit, mice, frog skin

Plants: seaweed wrap, doob (aka common green grass)

All fighting diabetes. We should be fine.

As promised, here is the last of the diabetes Mad Libs entries. This one comes from Penny.

For people with diabetes, low blood sugar is very crappy business. There are many symptoms of hypoglycemia. You may feel ugly and funky and your vision may become quirky. Your tush may be shaky and your skin color may turn chartreuse. It's likely you'll want to just spew on the couch until you feel better. You may also feel Pepsi pouring from your left ear profusely. If not treated immediately, you could lose your coffin or slip into a flower pot. You must skip your blood sugar right away using a laminater. Blood sugar below 72 is considered low. If you're low, you must eat sushi with at least 66 carbohydrates, based on your flight attendant's recommendations. If you're unable to eat or drink, you may need to squirt some hamburger into your clavicle. To prevent lows, people with diabetes should always remember to keep sour cream in their pockets at all times or conveniently located in the bathroom at McDonald's. Injecting the right amount of beer and accounting for any extra hurling will help keep those jumpy low blood sugars away.

Phew! I'd rather slip into a flower pot than a coffin. That was a close one. Have a great weekend everyone. I'm outta here. Time to inject the right amount of beer.
