sorry it's been so long since we've been around. end of semesters and the finding of new jobs makes it somewhat difficult to keep up the blogging. diabeteshappens had the great pleasure of making a trip out to utah with diabetic hosses insulindependence at the end of may though. the trip was amazing, and we got to meet a whole new crew of diabetics from all over america. hopefully you've seen this pics posted on our sight.
but more importantly, and i have no idea why we haven't posted on any of this yet, was the release from rapper shawty lo's rep that the rapper has diabetes, not hiv. Apparently, speculation arose when lo lost weight and had a stomach ache. neither disease is anything to scoff at, but for shawty's sake were are glad that it's the 'betes. we at diabeteshappens would like to be the first to welcome shawty into the ranks with non-functioning pancreases.
he joins fellow hip hopper and former wu tang clan member ghostface killah as embassadors of the disease in the rap community, and can now, amazingly, be connected to the likes of the jonas brothers, bret michaels, elliot yamin and the pump girls.
diabetes really does bring people together.
