This is a sad day. Type 1

Guys gals I just realised that if there is a zombie apocalypse or any other kind of apocalypse in the near future most of us will be the first ones to die because of no supply of insulin. I feel very bad for all my diabetic brethren that we won't have our hero movement of surving a horde with the last resistance of earth. This realisation is really really heartbreaking and no amount of cake would be sufficient to make me feel better. This is a sad day indeed 😔.

Fuck that. I intend to be one of the first bitten so I can lead the glorious zombie armies to an unending buffet of meat and brains. Very low carb diet with a good bit of cardio chasing down meals would likely result in me completely reversing my diabetes.

Nah the plain rn is. We all gotta meet at a party shop or like the biggest bakery in town. And we get chainsaws and like guns and anything that can be used as weapons. Then what we do is get a sugar high on all the cake and shit. And then be the last stand for the city of outbreak. Cause if we fail or not we got to the other side anyways. So gotta die trying 🫡

Just make sure you get a chainsaw you can start on your own. The Stihl 660 is a friggin beast to start and to carry, and it'll weigh you down after 20 or 30 minutes of constant zombie slashing.

Stay away from top-handle saws. They're easier to lose control of when you're making zombie mince on the ground. Personally, I feel like the Stihl MS180 is right in the sweet spot for power, portability, and fuel efficiency. Get a longer bar & chain to increase your cutting reach if you've got time for some pre-planning.

That is some real insightful shit my man. And I would like to add some small gas canisters on the belt for extra zombie slaying time and a few cupcakes. But this is really helpful stuff. Thanks

In a book I read there was a vampire who liked to snack on diabetics for desert.

Could you imagine a diabetic hoard of T1 zombies? Just because you’re a zombie doesn’t mean you’re cured.. low blood sugar? Welp… I mean you’d fair much better as a diabetic vampire.

I mean no insulin and just brains sounds like a pretty sweet time but a diabetic vampire now that's a million dollar movie idea right there 😂

Now all I can imagine is the twinky bar Edwin Cullen meme from like the 2010’s. Oh good lord that imagery!

But what I actually was thinking was a vampire who needs to feed on people with certain amounts of blood glucose to survive and keep their own blood glucose levels at the right levels.

So a vampire who feeds on diabetics. That sounds scary and fun 😂😂

A diabetic vampire who feeds on diabetics but asks them nicely and offers to pay for there insulin cause he's a gentleman 😌.

Ooooh I like! The book we didn’t know we needed 😂 if it wasn’t almost 2am n the fact I need to do stuff later, I’d AuDHD hyper focus n smash out an outline for one.

I'd love to read it if you do end up writing something like that 😂😂

Before feeding on someone you'd have to check your own and their sugar levels as well.
