Snippets Of Me

Have you heard?

Have you heard that Swensens at ION is having a 1-for-1 ice cream and dessert buffet?

Guess who I heard it from?

My mom.

Anyone who knew I was a diabetic would expect my mother to be the the last person to send me this type of email. Well, it's not surprising at all. Simply because I actually can have ice cream buffet.

Don't rub your eyes now. Yes, I did say that I can go for an ice cream buffet.

It's a common misconception that people have about Type 1 diabetes - that those that have diabetes can't take anything sweet. I don't blame you if you're one of them because it's true that you can get Type 2 diabetes if you're constantly overloading your system with sugar.

See, that's the difference. It leads to Type 2 diabetes, not Type 1. I've probably mentioned this before, but I won't hesitate to say it again. The great thing about Tommy is that it gives me the freedom to eat anything. In a certain sense, you could say that I paid $8000 for the freedom to eat anything I want.

Eating stuff that's really sweet simply means that I would need to do damage control after that. i.e. Using Tommy to make sure my BSLs are in check. If I refuse something sweet, it's usually because I don't want to have to deal with the damage 2 hours after eating whatever it is.

It's not because I can't, but simply because I don't want to.

Just like how you would refuse it.
