Without further adieu, we present a true holiday classic: It's a Wonderful Life. That is, if George Bailey had type 1 diabetes.

 

We pick up at the dramatic conclusion as a harsh wind dies down and a soft, gentle snow begins to fall upon Bedford Falls.

 

GEORGE: I want to live again. I want to live again. Please, God, let me live again.

 

BERT: Hey, George! George! You all right?

 

George backs away and gets set to hit Bert again.

 

GEORGE: Now get out of here, Bert, or I'll hit you again! Get out!

 

BERT: What the Sam Hill you yelling for, George? Wait a minute. Are you having one of your diabetic episodes again? Mary warned me that if I found you, you might be actin' all belligerent-like.

 

GEORGE: (astonished) Bert, you know me? You know I have diabetes?

We're pretty staunch when it comes to supporting all things D. I don't like to discriminate, but if forced to choose, I'll always choose the diabetic brand. We only use diabetic dish detergent (fruity breath scent); we landscape with only diabetes-friendly shrubs and flowers and in the summers we go fishing in only diabetic waters.
That said, when Christmas comes around, we only sing diabetes Christmas songs in our household. Classics such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Bolus, The Little Pumper Boy and I Saw Mommy Ripping the Insurance Rep a New One fill our home with yuletide cheer.
And who can forget this classic adaptation of Let it Snow.
Bet He's Low!
Oh, my son's blood sugars are frightful Of course Ms. Berry's are delightful And since his eyes look like a Picasso I bet he's low, bet he's low, bet he's low (READ MORE)

Once upon a time, I wrote about things other than diabetes. I wrote about things like funerals for dead pet fish, my wife’s germophobia and my disdain for minivans.

 

As a kid, I was never a great student. Most of it bored me and I didn’t make much of an effort to store the information in my brain. Math I never understood and still don’t.  This is most obvious when my daughter asks me for help on her math homework. I usually just look at my wrist and tell her, “sorry, I have a thing,” and I run as fast and as far away as I can until I can be absolutely sure that she’s no longer following me.

There's been some debate over here on whether or not "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music is a holiday song or not. I'm going ahead and calling it a holiday song because as far as ideas go this year, it's all I got.

 

As you know, nothing screams Christmas like turning a happy Julie Andrews song into a depressing song about children struggling with type 1 diabetes.

 

And for the record, a spoonful of sugar might help the medicine go down, but it will make for one hellish night for many of us with kids that have diabetes. It's bad enough that our kid has some sort of virus that is making his blood sugars wildly high. Now you want to compound the situation with pure sugar on a spoon? Come on, Julie!

There are so many fantastic diabetes-related toys to choose from this holiday season for your little T1. But hurry, these toys are quickly flying off the shelves! Here are a few that will definitely be under our tree this year.

 

 

Operation (Diabetes Version)

 

Perform an islet cell transplant on a 47-year-old woman from Cleveland. Carefully inject enzymes to isolate islets from pancreas. One slip and you'll get buzzed as the woman's insulin pump lights up red.  It takes a very steady hand to attach islets to new blood vessels.  Watch out! Draw a "transplant rejection" card or a "blood clot" card and you'll lose a turn. Fun for the whole family! For added challenge, game comes with both the deceased donor's body and the recipient's body. $29.99

Several of the posts coming back from the Children With Diabetes annual Friends for Life conference (FFL) have likened this gathering of beta-less buddies to a traveling circus, a family reunion, and the sitcom Cheers, in whose eponymous bar "everybody knows your name" -- except that in the case of FFL, "everybody knows what it's like to live with type 1 diabetes". The effect, even without the Disneyification (FFL is always held at Disney World), is a Magic Kingdom of Diabetes. It makes sense: the event promoters are (and need to be) familiar with the condition, and the property managers need to be aware of -- and capable of handling -- a large, temporary influx of people who all have the same, or similar, "special needs".
