I stumbled across some type 1 diabetes memes today. Without thinking I had browsed through a few hundred (I was waiting for a train) and went through a range of emotions. Some lifted me up, some help to bring our collective experience together, and some are just plain funny. But, there are a good amount that make me feel sad for the type 1's that treat them as a truism or an accurate representation of the way things should be. So I'm writing a quick three part-er which will have three memes from three categories; the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The Good
I genuinely love meeting with other type 1's and sharing experiences. I don't get much chance to do this face to face - but that's why I started this blog and actively trying to connect over the internet.
Everyone likes to feel bad-ass, and its good to keep in mind that we can in turn - kick our auto-immune disease in the ass.
And first place goes to the minions. Who doesn't like the minions. Don't they just make everything better. Imagine the laugh going along with this meme and you should be smiling all day.
These memes make me happy and that's what people with type 1 diabetes need sometimes when thinking about their condition.
Respectfully,
Sam
