This one answers a very common question that non-diabetics have about diabetes: Why do you guys carry sugar around?

This post is part of the Second Annual D-Blog Week.  To take part, check out the details on Karen’s blog!  And thanks, as always, to Karen for organizing such a great advocacy effort.

Today’s Prompt: Having a positive attitude is important . . . but let’s face it, diabetes isn’t all sunshine and roses (or glitter and unicorns, for that matter).  So today let’s vent by listing ten things about diabetes that we hate.  Make them funny, make them sarcastic, make them serious, make them anything you want them to be!!

I decided to do this one as a video blog (in my pajamas):

Here’s the link I talk about in the video: 10 reasons I love having diabetes.

For you non-Phoenix people, here’s a little video of what it looks like (taken from my Andrioid phone, so don’t knock the quality).
