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.

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.
