Post request- Diabetes jokes

My first blog request from my favourite Type 5 asking for diabetes puns, jokes and pickup lines. These are terrible and have been found from stalking the internet, only two are my own because I'm not clever enough to think them up... or perhaps my sense of humour is a little more sane

1) The diabetics got on very well, you could say they glucose
2) Can you check your blood sugar? Because I would love to know your number
3) You're just my type
4) You're like my needles, ultra-fine
5) A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down..... unless you're diabetic
6) You're so sweet I need a dose of insulin
7) Did it hurt your pump... you know, when you fell from heaven?
my own creation and the title of my major work 8) Sweet sensationalism
9) What does one meter say to another? HI-LO
One I frequently say 10) Dude, I'm so high right now

    Hello there! While I am not new to Type 1 Diabetes I am new to the blog thing...the only blog I have is on Tumblr. Recently I've been looking into diabetes related tumblr and facebook pages because I don't actually know anyone with Diabetes and it was starting to get lonely. Basically I laughed at every single one of these and as for "Dude, I'm so high right now" I can't tell you how many times I've said that in a public place and gotten the worse looks from it! I don't even register anymore that 'high' means something else to other people!

    Anyway, sorry for the long comment =)

      Glad they made you laugh! Before I went on a diabetes camp I was in the same boat, didn't know anyone at all. Definitely look into those camps, they're pretty amazing! I live in Australia but I'm sure the same is offerred overseas.
      Consider me a diabetic you know :) Always welcome to post lovely long comments- I love them!

Diabetes Blog Week 2016: Message Monday

Today kicks off the seventh annual Diabetes Blog Week. Thanks as always to the lovely Karen at bittersweetdiabetes.com for hosting this event. I’ll be doing the 5-day post schedule rather than 7 this year. Day One is Message Monday " Lets kick off the week by talking about why we are here, in the diabetes blog space. What is the most important diabetes awareness message to you? Why is that message important for you, and what are you trying to accomplish by sharing it on your blog? ” Interesting topic. My blog is sometimes a laugh, sometimes educational, and sometimes a massive rant-fest. But I think there’s still a common theme through all of it. No one deserves a chronic illness. No one deserves to be told they brought it on themselves. No one deserves to have such an enormous part of their life judged, minimised, or made into a joke. Like so many others I’ve heard everything you can think of about Type 1. It’s like people have no filter. “Guess you should h...

D Blog Week 2017: Diabetes and the Unexpected

"Diabetes can sometimes seem to play by a rulebook that makes no sense, tossing out unexpected challenges at random.  What are your best tips for being prepared when the unexpected happens?  Or, take this topic another way and tell us about some good things diabetes has brought into your, or your loved one’s, life that you never could have expected?" Happy DBlog Week! Thank you once again to Karen at Bittersweet Diabetes for running the show. I can't believe I've made it to my 5th blog week, it seems like just yesterday I started my blog in 2013, right before blog week. I was so nervous entering it as a brand new blogger. But here we are, 5 years later and I can call many of my fellow bloggers my friends.  On to the topic. I've decided to tackle this topic using the second interpretation- what good has diabetes brought to my life?  I saw this topic and went back to my old blog posts to see what I've said in the past about silver l...

D Blog Week 2017: What Brings Me Down

"Today let’s revist a  prompt from 2014  - May is  Mental Health Month  so now seems like a great time to explore the emotional side of living with, or caring for someone with, diabetes. What things can make dealing with diabetes an emotional issue for you and / or your loved one, and how do you cope?" Diabetes Blog Week was the first time I spoke properly about mental health on my blog. You can read that post here. I was absolutely terrified about posting that.   I'm quite proud of 2015 Bec, but looking back it makes me laugh. Mostly because I was insistent that I hadn't experienced burnout or depression. Oh the denial.  So it feels like coming full circle back to this prompt.  Diabetes is by nature an emotional experience. Shifts in blood sugar change your mood. Sleep deprivation changes your mood.  T1 is a chronic condition. It never goes away. It never gets better. Sometimes it gets worse. That is the shitty nature of a chronic condi...
