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 have diabetes.. you can still eat ice cream, you just have to take the right amount of insulin. this is not an FYL at all....

It was a joke. Plus, my dad has diabetes and he eats ice cream sometimes. I suppose it depends which brand you eat. There's also diabetic ice cream, just as Thornton's does diabetic chocolate.

Jesus Christ. Maybe he doesn't understand Diabetes, and its restrictions. But hey, try being diagnosed the week before Halloween and being offered candy. So suck it.

i'm also type 1 diabetic, all of you ignorant ***** need to shut your damn mouths and have some respect. most type 1 diabetics are diagnosed during adolesence, and let me tell you, beign a teenager and trying to deal with all of the usual problems plus pricking your finger an unimaginable number of times a day, plus giving yourself a shot 2 to 5 times a day is no walk in the park. let me hold you down and shove a needle in your arm on a daily basis and then we'll see who's still talking. btw, theres no such thing as "diabetic icecream" and even the sugar free ice creams still have carbs, which is what you count to figure out your insulin ratio. i believe it's all of YOU who need to do your research. thank you, :)

Oh please. You make it sound like such a drama. There is such thing as low carb ice cream. Just have more insulin, thats what I do. You can actually eat whatever you want when you know how to control it.

Couldn't have said that better myself!! =)

You can get sugar free ice cream. That is generally fine for the common type 2 if you only eat it in moderation.

I ******* hate when people say that diabetics can't eat sweets. I'm 15 and I've had diabetes since I was 6. Everyone that doesn't have diabetes needs to shut the **** up because more than likely, you don't know what you are talking about. Diabetics can eat ANYTHING that they want. And it doesn't matter how much sugar is in something. Carbs are what count.
ChelleStacey 0
I agree! But sugar does count, its just added into the carbs. Except for lollies. Just take more insulin and away you go. Lol.
