Tuesday Topic: 29 Things Only a Person with Diabetes Would Understand

chic getting a shotWe recently came across an article by Healthline.com that had us both laughing and crying.  CLICK HERE to read the article.  It is so nice to know that others get it and can join us in laughing about the daily struggles of living with this disease.

  • #17 – You find used test strips in your refrigerator, but don’t know how they got there.
  • #29 – To lick or to wipe?  That is the question.  (I never knew that licking was an option until I met Ryan).
