A few notes on Type I Diabetes

[Oh Dear]

Clark Jones was very funny on episode 2218, but he didn't do a great job explaining Type I, previously 'juvenile', diabetes.

Drinking will lower your sugar for a short while, afterwards it will skyrocket or 'rebound' up, making life miserable. (He basically said this but it was a bit unclear).

Any diabetic who regularly drinks is not doing the right thing. Alcohol speeds up the long-term damage associated with the disease; small vessel damage, nerve damage, etc.Don't do it. (I'm 9yrs completely dry).

Type I is VERY rare and genetic in origin. He, like myself, has a greater chance of passing this disease on to his children. Higher still if his reproductive partner is also a carrier.

Just wanted to clear-up a few points for all you `betes babies out there in KATG land.

Also: please don't ever take your insulin and not eat, let alone go to sleep. Clark came within a hairs length of death that day.

Ok I'm done know. I assume most of you saw a shitload of text and moved on, so מאַזל-טאָוו to those that made it here!
