The Benefits Of Being Diabetic

by Kendra James, RN on July 19th, 2007

So I was thinking today, what are the benefits of having diabetes.  Hmm… lets see, there are a few that come to mind.

1.  I always get to eat when I want and where I want because I can just claim that I am feeling “low” and only a big ol’ steak will do.  Thank you Outback!

2.  I can give a urine sample at any point of the day on any given day!  I know it is TMI, but I had to put it in there!

3.  Any sugar free candy in the house is strictly mine.  That’s right, I don’t have to share it with my hubby or kids.

4.  I can get sympathy from any old goofball that doesn’t understand that diabetes isn’t a death sentence.  “Oh, I am so sorry, can I get you something?”

and 5.  I will always be extra sweet!  Hahaha, that was my fave.  Enjoy and have a good night!
