Today, I was diagnosed with diabetes. I went to tell my grandpa, who immediately said, "I'm sorry, let's go get ice cream to cheer you up." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. My mom's reaction was, I shit you not, to tell me to "walk it off". FML
Today, my dad went to the doctor to find out if he is autistic. When we walked in, the doctor asked why he wasn't testing if he was diabetic, effectively calling my dad fat. My dad was deeply offended, so I gave that jackass doctor an earful. But as it turns out, he was correct. My dad does have diabetes. FML
Today, while having lunch with my grandparents, my grandpa's eyes glazed over, his head fell and he slumped in his chair. I started panicking and almost cried, thinking he was dead. Then he laughed and said "Just kidding. I'm fine." FML
Today, after finding out that my mom is diabetic last year in November, this July a good friend of mine died from diabetes. I also found out that my dad is diabetic, as well as my grandma. It would appear that Wilford Brimley hates my guts. FML
Today, since I needed someone to talk to about it, I told my girlfriend how my dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My girlfriend's mother then told me, in graphic detail, how her father's diabetes led to his toes being hacked off. FML
Today, after struggling with an eating disorder and hiding my symptoms for months, I got up the courage to tell my mom that I need help. Then she asked if an ice cream would make me feel better. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I had diabetes. He won't talk to me anymore because he thinks I'll infect him with it. FML
Today, my granddaddy called me with the sole purpose of letting me know that I’ve gotten so fat, he doesn’t even recognize me anymore. I’ve been silently suffering with a health condition that causes major weight gain. FML
Today, like every other month, I accompanied my paternal grandfather to visit his doctor who's as old as he is, and whom I never spoke to ever. As I waited outside, for the first time ever, grandpa had me come in to meet his doctor. The very moment I stepped into his office, he greeted me with a, "He's obese!" FML
Today, we surprised my grandpa by being at his house when he arrived. We haven't seen him in seven years. He had a small heart attack. It was his birthday. FML

Probably just slipped out out of habit. When one of my friends is down we always suggest going out to get ice cream. Either that or he doesn't really understand what diabetes is.

I'm a horrible person. I laughed. OP: Maybe he thought taking you out for ice cream like you do for a kid when they are down (and he forgot/doesn't understand diabetes). ..Or maybe your grandpa is a sarcastic douche who wins.

this should not have been a fml...now if you just said you got diabetes today now that would be a fml, not having your grandpa asking you to go eat ice cream when you think you can't, but actually can.

Punch your grandad square in the jaw for being a cheeky mother ******, and then sling him in a home.

I have type 2 diabeties and I still eat/drink everything i did before i had it, The only thing you have to realize is portions and check you sugar daily It's not that big of deal unless you have type 1

If you have type 1, you can still have ice cream - you just have to take a different amount of insulin. The same goes for pretty much every other type of food. At least that's how is it for my boyfriend. If you have type 2, you probably shouldn't be eating ice cream anyway because most type 2 develop the disease because they are fat.

Actualy type 2 is developed when said person eats to much food that contains high amounts of sugar causing the pancreas to have to work harder to turn the sugar into glucouse and eventualy the pancreas 'burns out' and doesn't produce enough if any isulin (changes the sugar to glucouse). But yeah usually all that food makes said perin fat
