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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Diabetics can eat any foods they want to. They just have to watch the portion sizes when they're eating them. Even if you do eat a lot of carbs during meals, everyone reacts differently to insulin because of their sensitivity do to stress, metabolism, being fat, being muscular, etc. As for me I have type 1 diabetes and I am also extremely insulin sensitive. Therefore I usually do not need to take insulin with my meals to counteract the amount of carbs that I take in. As far as the weight gaining goes I have never gained weight do to insulin, that also has a lot to do with how active you are. #122 The next time you make a comment try to make it an intelligent one. When diabetics count carbs they do not count sugar as an extra carb. For example, lets say that some cereal has 45g of total carbohydrates and 23g of sugar, you would only count that as 45g of carbs. Thats not even including the correction for fiber. If the cereal had 12g of fiber you would subtract that from the total number of carbs and get 33 carbs. To every diabetic that thinks you can just counteract everything with insulin is a ******* idiot, you're all going to go blind and end up in the hosptial when you're 50 with renal failure and on dialysis every month because you didn't take care of yourself properly.

No they dont count sugar. But the sugar total is included in the carb total. AND you can counteract what you eat with insulin its call adjustments, maybe you should ask your doctor about it one day.

I see the OP's point. just been diagnosed with something and someone saying a seemingly insensitive comment might be grounds for an FML... HOWEVER.... I must point out that the person that said it was the grandfather. I don't know if you guys know much about the olden times, but I'm pretty sure the cure to all the young one's ails was a kiss on the boo-boo and taking them out for ice cream. This was just a typical response by an old fashioned man to a situation he had no solution or control of. cut him some slack will ya?

Whether it's a FML or YDI depends on if it's type one or type two.

Diabetics can eat whatever they want. Just give youself some insulin.
