Sugar Rush


Uncle Ernie, so glad to hear you're following your diet... you diabetic!!

Being with someone who's stubborn and a type 2 diabetic is always a fun time at the grocery store. It's like shopping in a toy store with a kid (except a deli is involved).
"Put down the cake, no- no you're not getting the cake!! Okay, okay.... only if you promise- after dinner, you will shoot up. Your insulin, of course."

When you buy a dessert with a diabetic in the household, you need to place it in a secretive spot, almost like child-proofing the medicine from your home, storing desserts in a place diabetics can't reach; therefore, I made a list of tips on diabetic-proofing your kitchen:

* If you eat a dessert, do not eat in front of a diabetic. Diabetics love to mimic what they can't have.
* Dispose all desserts properly, not in the garbage openly, desperation causes drastic measures.
* And finally securing the cabinet with a lock, no not for them but for my emotional eating issues.


I wonder if bitter spouses use their wifes' or husband's diabetes to their advantage? I mean, I'm sure they understand the concept of a diabetic coma. "What's that Mabel? You want your husband's life insurance money?" ---- Just remember, Mabel, only fifteen peach pies, till you reach the prize!
