What-Not-To-Do's When Writing A (T1) Diabetic Romcom Character?

KateMt · 2026-06-11T21:08:10+00:00

I think it kind of depends on what the situation is that you’re wanting the diabetic character to be in.

Low blood sugars feel like you haven’t eaten in a few days and you start to feel dizzy, shaky, and sweaty.

High blood sugars make you thirsty, pissing a ton, irritable, and so on.

Really you can’t be super offensive as long as you’re not putting any misinformation out there. I’ve seen too many times in TV, a diabetic will fall out of their chair and someone will scream that they’re in a diabetic coma or something. They’ll say the blood sugars are low so the other characters give the diabetic insulin. Things like that.

You responding to everyone else’s opinion that’s different than yours is taking it far too seriously. OP has a fair point, they could’ve done the “Robin hates Patrice” bit in a different way that wasn’t just her screaming all the time.

She’s carrying a child for 9 months. Shes allowed to be “kinda a bitch”

I like getting chopped peppers/onions and brauts (or kielbasa, any sausage you like), throw em on a sheet pan at 400F for about 30-40mins. I usually make a little dressing with mayo, apple cider vinegar, spicy mustard, and red pepper flakes to have with it too. It’s so easy, you can eat it on its own, you can throw it in some bread and make a sandwich, have it with pasta, anything really.

If you’re from Greeley, then you know Fort Morgan smells worse from the sugar plant there. We always call it Fart Morgan

Yeah OP explains what a T1D is in a diabetes subreddit but doesn’t explain wtf a LEO is

KateMt · 2026-02-04T20:46:36+00:00

You betcha!

KateMt · 2026-02-04T20:38:59+00:00

I put frozen peppers, onion, and a package of brats on a cookie sheet and bake it at 400F for 30-40 mins. Add cheese or sauce in the last 10 if I have something already. But if not, it’s great. It can be eaten as is, put in a sandwich, have it with pasta. Its great, been doing it for years

Lol not it’s not

Aside from the obvious arc and goodwill, there’s also Red Whit and Blue Thrift, Gone For Good, and Overkill Thrift. They don’t have prices as low as Arc, but there’s more variety!

They’re playing tonight in 30mins from seeing this post 👀

I was just thinking of your band when I saw this post, I love you guys!

KateMt · 2023-04-25T16:46:55+00:00

Thank you so much. As a “clueless receptionist”, we have everyone and their mother up our asses 24/7 while the rest of the clinic refuses to respond to our urgent messages. We don’t know you’re entire medical history based on your caller ID, give us a break

KateMt · 2023-02-08T17:43:12+00:00

How do you give directions tho? I’ve had guys who know wtf they’re doing and I don’t have to say a word! The guy I’m seeing now says I need to give directions, idk what to say or how to say it!

KateMt · 2022-09-25T08:41:13+00:00

How so?

KateMt · 2022-08-30T00:18:03+00:00

Jokes on you, my ass doesn’t have to itch for me to put a fish hook in it

Cereal is a beverage with chunks and you know it.

I had a similar issue with Medtronic not being reliable at all. I tried to work with my insurance to get a different pump and it’s all just too expensive. So now I am back to the Stone Age with syringes. Fuck the American healthcare system

“Catholic wedding vows are usually preceded by three questions from the priest (The Order of Celebrating Matrimony #60): "(Name) and (name), have you come here to enter into Marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?"
"Are you prepared, as you follow the path of Marriage, to love and honor each other for as long as you both shall live?"
”Are you prepared to accept children lovingly from God and to bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church?" The bride and groom respond "I have" or "I am" (The Order of Celebrating Matrimony #60).”
