bwahahahahahaha

A sense of humor, OP. Grow one. YDI for lacking one.

OBVIOUSLY g/p does NOT know what diabeties is. But he also obviously wants to cheer you up. Bless him. Tell him your blood has 'the vapors'.

This FML is so stupid. "Today my grandpa was sorry that I got diabetes and tried to cheer me up, FML" What would you rather him do? Would you rather him not care, or disown you before he has to pay for your medical expenses or some shit? God, stop being such a whiny **** and be glad you have a supportive family. Jesus christ.

#40 when i came home with diabetes my brother was cleaning his room. he found an old m&m and offered it to me as a joke bc it was so old. i had just learned 3 days ago that i couldnt eat sweets again ever (luckily im on the pump now and can) but it made me cry. its not that the grandpas heart wasnt in the right place but it still stings. its ok op youll be fine =)

grandPA implying male. males don't listen. the dude just wants ice cream @ 40 - if you're diabetic it means you have to watch you blood sugar level. ice cream has alot of sugar that may put the OP in a diabetic shock

They do make sugar free ice cream...

OP, ever hear of sugar free? ...

#43/52 - I know what being diabetic means. My point was that the OP should quit whining because the grandpa was attempting to be nice. I understand that going for Ice Cream isn't something the OP can do, but really, all you have to say is "hey grandpa, how about we go to subway instead?" or something instead of "waaa my grandpa is thoughtful"

I think everyone needs to chill the **** out. ha

#75, he's not complaining about his grandfather doing something nice. he's upset because the ice cream would have cheered him up, but he can't have any. and to everyone who thinks he's being whiny, he just got diagnosed today (i know it doesn't mean today, but still), let him get time to get used to it. give him a break. OP, i feel for you.

#23 - Well, after finding out that you have diabetes, you probably are not going to be in a good mood...definitely not a joking mood. Especially within the same day!

YDI it for being a fagget american and getting diabetes

^ This guy. Yeah, you. Shut the **** up.

All these FML's about diabetes are made by illiterate fools who can't even read up the disease they've just been diagnosed with. A person with diabetes can eat anything a normal person can eat, he/she just needs to inject his/herself with insulin after it. This can be done either with a pump or with injection needles. Therefore this is not a FML this is just a kind grandfather and a retarded OP.

that's type 1 there are other kinds ^^

Aw D: I'm sorrie OP This FML was posted on my birthday ehehehe

<- thinks grandpa prob sad sugar free and op twisted it because he thought it would be a funny fml

113 your a fagot

There are different types of Diabetes, so it depends which type this person has and the person that said something about Americans and Diabetes, screw you.

First off, I apologize for your diagnosis, I was diagnosed back in 2008 as well. Second, I think your grandfather was trying to be nice, Diabetics CAN eat anything, they just need to manually compensate for their sugar intake. Also, for the people who think diabetics are just obese people, I am 5'9 and weigh 130 lbs with 7% body fat. Just keep pushing through, a cure will be sure to come shortly

In the ice cream shop where I live there is some sugar-free ice cream, and it's the thought of your grandpa being as thoughtful to gt you ice cream :]

You can eat whatever you want with diabetes I have type 1

Diabetes is not that bad, been diagnosed since I was 6. At least we didn't get cancer

#111 shut the **** up and die in a hole. I'm a type one diabetic and I'm very healthy. I can eat whatever I want. It's not like one day I woke up and said to myself I want diabetes. It's not something you can stop. Even if its type 2 you can eat sweets here and there.

#2 FTW. Who the hell did I hit?

How the hell is this an FML in regards to your grandma? If anything, you should be glad she wants to treat you to something

Yes, his grandpa is a she.

2 I thought that was going to be a nice comment but that was cold

my grandma has diabites she can eat ice cream it depends on what type u have

This. ^

Thank GOD you aren't an idiot and understand the whole diabetics can eat anything, no matter the type-thing.

Finally someone who knows what diabetes is

#182 that's not true ik what it is and so do a whole shit ton of people so shhhhhhh!

diabetes is no fun... but you can definitely eat ice cream... and cookies... and cake... especially if you're type 1... anyway, good luck with it!

i get that it doesn't mean he can't have any, but who really wants to **** up their pancreas the DAY they get diagnosed. and to everyone that actually has diabetes and is pissed at him, weren't you even a little like that when you got diagnosed? didn't you freak out about eating sweets and what-not? and either way, every time he has ice cream, he has to get an insulin shot...still an FML. seriously, guys, just cut the OP some slack

Actually it is more likely to be wothin the limits of what their body sets. Diabetes is very different for each person. Most people seem to have a point that if they pass it, their blood sugar goes high regardless. If they stick under this point, the only thing that really matters is eating a healthy balanced diet. Diabetes is a bit of a strange condition. As you have to live with it 24/7 you quickly get a better idea of how things will affect you than the doctors do by looking at a piece of paper with numbers on it twice a year, meaning that to get good control you need to play a bigger part in your healthcare than with a condition where it is just a case of "take 1 of these twice a day and everything will be fixed"

Screw you for the fat assumption. My cousin is thin like a stick and got diagnosed with it recently too.

I agree with the whole fat assumption, but there are 2 kinds. The 'fat' diabetes he was dickishly referring to is Type 2 Diabetes (the pancreas still produces some insulin, but not enough to maintain proper blood sugar control)...which many people develop without being overweight. OP and your cousin are most likely Type 1 Diabetics (the pancreas is shut down completely and produces nothing). If your cousin is anything like me, which by you saying she is a stick...then she can probably eat whatever they want and never gain a single pound. This turns out to be a double edged sword. Like in my case, yes, I'm very skinny, but I'm very underweight, and because of it, have irregular menstrual cycles, can't carry a pregnancy to full term, am anemic, I bruise very easily, I need more sleep...and so on. So to all you people who say 'waa! You're skinny! Your life is soooo hard!!' Shut up. There are lots of health issues that come with being TOO skinny, and being unable to gain weight...and trust me...I've tried gaining!!

#10, shut the **** up

#10, you're probably as fat as a rhino, so stfu Bitch.

You are never, NEVER, to old for ice-cream.
