While We Are Waiting...

…waiting for a cure for T1 diabetes

What We See...

1/14/2016

0 Comments

 
I'm a sucker for those memes that show different perspectives of jobs, etc., in six pictures. I've seen a few for diabetes, but decided to go a different route that might provide a laugh for those of us in the T1D world and a little enlightenment for those on the outside of it. See what you think.

Picture
Skittles:

What the World Thinks:
Candy! Oh boy.
​
What the T1 Kid Thinks: I must be low.
​

Picture
Smarties:

What the World Thinks: Candy! Eww, but it's the yucky kind.
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: Mom wants my low to come up fast.
​

Picture
Needles: 

What the World Thinks: Oh no! I'm outta here.
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: Oh good, it must be time to eat.
​

Picture
PDM (Personal Diabetes Manager/ Pump Activator)

What the World Thinks: Hmm, let's play games!
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: How fast can I input my carbs so I can finally eat?


Picture
Alcohol Wipes:

What the World Thinks: Ouch, that might sting my cut.
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: (Nothing. This is just part of life before testing sugars.)
​

Picture
Water Bottles:

What the World Thinks: Thirsty...
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: High blood sugar...
​

Picture
"You're High"

What the World Thinks: Oh My Goodness, are you kidding?
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: Darn! No snack.
​

Picture
Blood:

What the World Thinks: Ugh, Ewww, I might faint!
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: Quick! Get a test strip! I can use this!

Picture
School Nurse:
​

What the World Thinks: The nice lady I see once in a while to take care of my boo boos.

What the T1 Kid Thinks: Like another mom to me. I see her every day and we know each other well. She really cares about me.
​

Picture
Cheese Stick:

What the World Thinks: Yum!
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: I must be high.


Picture
Worried Look on Mom's Face:

​
What the World Thinks:She must be doing taxes or something.
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: My blood sugar isn't right.
​

Picture
iPhone:

What the World Thinks: Ooooo, shouldn't have that in school...
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: Good, I'm in range and don't have to test my blood sugar as much.
​

Picture
Pizza:

What the World Thinks: Yum!
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: No! I want to eat it all, but so many carbs….


Picture
Dog:

What the World Thinks: I'm going to pet it and feel happy.

What the T1 Kid Thinks: I'm going to pet it and regulate my blood sugar.
or!
​

What the T1 Kid Thinks: He's going to tell me where my blood sugar is.


The world may look at this and think, "Hey, that's what the parent is thinking, not the kid." But no. When diabetes is your life, you grow up pretty quickly and need to start thinking like an adult when it comes to food. It is a difficult part of life, but one we get used to. I'd love to hear more of these from the T1D community! Please share in the comments.
