As a diabetic, I try and use my terminal disease to my advantage every chance I get. And why shouldn’t I? YOU don’t have to stick yourself with needles or have to skip dessert. So fuck off if you don’t like it.
In high school I got to show up to class late because I was “in the nurses office getting Tang” for my low blood sugars. I wasn’t really at the nurse, and I had no intention of seeing her. But I got a free tardy pass for life, so I was going to use it. If a meeting at work runs a little long, you can bet I’m going to duck out to “go get a snack before I pass out.”
An unexpected bonus I've discovered is with my sugar tablets I have to carry with me at all times, in case my blood sugars get low for real. These tablets come in a round tube, similar to the size and girth of a roll of quarters. I carry this tube around in my front pocket all the time. So now, if a girl were to say, look down to check out the goods, she'd probably get an eye full. It’s like I’m constantly stuffing my shorts. Awesome.
Although, if I ever did get to make out with said girl, she'd most likely be disappointed…

I'm glad that you're using this to your advantage Dave, especially from all the stories you tell of people discriminating against you because of your diabetes!
