I sure enjoyed writing my April Fool's post yesterday. I've always gotten a big kick out of the day but rarely can keep a straight face long enough to pull a prank.
I wanted to be clear that I probably would qualify for type 2.41 if there were such a thing. I was making fun of myself and the media. I sometimes get an attitude from people that I wouldn't have the disease if I'd just suck it up and lose some weight and exercise more. That might just be my own paranoia. But you know what they say - "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you!". (READ MORE)

Did you see this story on the new type of diabetes that they've named today? It's really a sub-category of type 2 and many people will be moved from one diagnosis to the other.
Type 2.41 will make it clear to others immediately that the condition is the patient's fault, rather than just guessing as the population is forced to do now. This will make it much easier and more efficient to stereotype and discriminate.
Type 2.41 is characterized by obesity and couch potato tendencies and a ravenous appetite for refined carbohydrates and sugar. It also tends to indicate slovenliness, littering, an unwillingness to vote, owning a car that gets less than 20 MPG, poor personal hygiene and many other modern sins.
Type 2.41 is easily remedied, but we know it won't be as 'these people' are unwilling and uninterested in improving their lot in life. (READ MORE)

This is hard. How do I say this?

 

After more than five years of blogging and more than 500 blog posts, it just feels like it's time.  What else can I say about Charlie and diabetes that hasn't already been said? How many times can I tell you about a dreadful night of high blood sugars? How many times can I bitch and moan about the unpredictability of this disease? How many times will I attempt to use humor and satire to cope with this shitty situation?

 

I'm a broken record.  It's time for it to stop.

 

I have met lots of great people along the way and have received so much wonderful support from so many of you. Thank you so much for following along with the blog and reading about our ridiculously dysfunctional life with diabetes. I hope we can keep in touch. It's been a blast.

 

Stop! No more tears! You promised!

While the title of this post is a play on the French "Poisson d'Avril" ("April Fools" is called "April Fish"), there's nothing funny about it.

 

We've heard about folk stealing one or more of Lance Armstrong's bikes, but a whole team's bicycles -- and not just that, but also their spares, parts, and tools?

Since it is April Fools Day I am going to share a coupled of my favorite moments messing with people while using diabetes to my advantage.
The first story is about Dave. One of my best friends in the world, Dave is my son's Godfather and a very close friend to the rest of my family. Dave and I were roommates long ago and even though he knew I was a type 1, he would always turn his back on me when I was taking my shot. (READ MORE)

The lies often grow more elaborate as Charlie's blood sugars grow higher.

• No, we can't get ice cream from the ice cream man. I don't have any money on me.

• Oh … this? No, that's not a real dollar. It's a prop. I got it from a magic shop. Poof! See? It's gone. No money.

• You wouldn't like this (Skittles). It's spicy.

• You wouldn't like this (Starburst). It fell in dog poop.

• You wouldn't like this (licorice). It was endorsed by a radical minister.

• You wouldn't like this (Pop Rocks). It will make your head explode.

• Yes, it will really make your head explode. Well, if mixed with soda. But even without the soda, you could easily lose an ear or two.

• You wouldn't like this (Dots). It's chewy because it's made from chopped up pieces of snake.
