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?

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall, the most pancreatically-challenged reindeer of all?
Rudolph the diabetic ('betic)
Had some very nasty lows (like a 30)
And if you ever asked him (asked him)
He would even say it blows (like a mofo)
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like Sugar Boy)
They said he was contagious
They didn't want to be the same (the same)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (ho ho ho)

The old fable of Androcles and the Lion -- or in some versions, the Mouse and the Lion -- highlights an unusual amity between two beings who are usually considered predator and prey. In the story, the lion has been crippled by a thorn stuck in his paw which he could not reach, see, or remove. The prey, whether mouse or man, sees the problem, overcomes his fear of the predator, and offers to remove the thorn. The wound heals, and the lion is ever thankful to his unlikely physician.

Was watching the show WIPEOUT the other night when one of the hysterical commentators in an oversized sports jacket spat out this awesome one-liner:
"Bust out the insulin, it’s party time!"
LOL!
How funny are those guys???
I just love me some diabetes humor.
I hate to mess with a great joke, but I was thinking of some of my own ideas.
How about …
"Bust out the insulin, your son has high levels of poisonous acid coursing through his bloodstream."
Too funny!!!
Or …
"Bust out the insulin, it’s time to jab your baby with needles."
OMG! Can’t. Stop. Laughing.

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!
My Least Favorite Things
Blood drops on bed sheets and battered up fingers

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
