One Lump or Two?
Like I wrote a few weeks ago, "Even though I do not like the disease, there are some diabetes-related simple pleasures that make me smile." But on the flip side of that, there are some diabetes-related things that make me grimace. (Not Grimace , but grimace.) And when I’m feeling down about the hard parts of managing this disease, I often turn to humor to lift me back up. (For me, a little gallows humor goes a long way in keeping me from really falling into a depressive state. It seems like a counterproductive idea, but it really helps me.) This is where Haidee Soule Merritt ’s book comes in: One Lump or Two? Her book more than resonated for a 20+ year diabetes veteran like myself. It’s taken me a long time to build up this much amusement at a disease that’s trying its hardest to take me out, but now I’m in the thick of the smirking-despite-the-chaos.
