Today, it was my birthday. My parents got me a box of cupcakes. My brother got me a deck of cards. My aunt got me a brochure on how to quit smoking. I have diabetes, I don't play cards, and I don't smoke. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, it's my birthday, I received two cards, one from my mum and one from my son, that my mum gave to him to give to me. My entire family said they couldn't be bothered going out for dinner for my birthday. My two 'friends' didn't even send a card, never mind a gift or want to meet up. FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, for my birthday, my friends and family gave me: A Wii Fit, a free year at the gym and a book of diet recipes. They didn't consult with each other. I've asked for "something corresponding to me". FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only thing I got was a coupon for a couples acupuncture session from my sister. I'm single and have an extreme fear of needles. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, my parents gave me fat burner pills for my birthday. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday, I celebrated it by cooking my favourite meal for my parents and sister, while they watched TV and house-hunted for my sister. I have yet to hear a happy birthday, receive a card, a present or a phone call. Oh, and my parents are on a diet, so they complained my cooking wasn’t "on their plan." FML
Today, it was both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML

what the hell does diabetes have to do with cards???

Diabetes doesn't have anything to do with cards; it's the fact that she got presents that have nothing to do with her at all.

YDI for not telling them what you want or even hinting at it! What did you expect? Maybe you should be less of a difficult person to give to! Be grateful you received anything!

I have diabetes theres nothing wrong with eating a cupcake you would just have to give your self a little extra insulin that's all :)

Some people have issues with their insulin. I used to work for a cilla and one of my girls was diabetic and despite her insulin if she ate just a bit too much sugar they’d rise and it was hard to get it down even with insulin. Usually means they need to have their dosage change or need to see a dr for it. I on the other hand live off sugar almost lol I can not stay above 100 to save my life even with medicine. Last time I was in the er they kept pumping detrox into me just to have me go from 200 down to 60 within 30’minutes even try carbs and sugary foods and I still kept dropping. It really just depends on the person and how severe it is. Some people just avoid certain foods to avoid making themselves sick
