This is the thing about diabetes. It's so common now that people think it's just one of those things that happens when you get old. You take insulin and whatever. There is no scare associated with it anymore, which is ridiculous, because diabetes is terrifying shit. It's killing people by the thousands and no one seems to care.

My paternal grandfather had it. He controlled it for 60 years with diet and exercise but by the time he had to start taking insulin all kinds of bad shit started happening. People think it's just taking some insulin with meals, and it's really really not. I have shared this blog post with just about everyone in my family.
