Eat the bun

In my family we had a saying, I'm pretty sure it was my brother Dave that coined it, he's the funniest one in the family.  Anyway the saying is "Eat the bun," it was our way of sticking our tongue out or even a friendly way to give the bird.  But diabetes has even messed with that phrase for me...a bun, oh those warm sticky cinnamon ones, or the fresh bakery kind with pecans... well they can be a kind of no-no food for a diabetic, those carbs you know? 

Believe me I'd love to tell diabetes to Eat the bun!

Ugh... continued

First things first...

*  I am a person with diabetes, I'm not a doctor, nurse, seer or anything other than a regular person (OK, regular is debatable).  I will share my thoughts, experience, emotions and maybe a few cuss words, probably a few cuss words.    The information, aka stuff, I share here is just my stuff and is NOT a substitute for consulting your medical team. 

*  This blog was created a few years ago.  Yes I am aware this is the first post...eat the bun would ya?

*  If you are a type2 (I hate everything about diabetes including the abbreviations) and you think taking insulin means "the end," please don't.  Using insulin has been great for me.  Talk with your doctor(s), give it some serious thought, it can be a great tool.

*  This blog is for entertainment purposes only.  Whose entertainment is the question.
