Don't Dick with Diabetes

Take care of yo' kids boys and girls. I am not talkin' about your offspring, though you should take care of them too. I'm talking about your kidneys. And I'm talkin' about diabetes. Micro and macrovascular changes that happen with diabetes suck, and they're really sucky when you ignore your doctor's recommendations that you, you know... take insulin and manage your sugars and shit.

And I know, it sucks to be a badass dood, tryin' to be all manly an' shit, wielding an accucheck machine and tellin' your boyz that "shit, I can't have another 40, I gotz to keep my sugars low." But now, after one too many bouts with DKA, and generally not taking care of your ass, you're in renal failure, oh, and you're blind. Your homies LOVE visitin' you at dialysis. Just wait till they start describin' all the hot chicks for ya.

Dumbass.

Sadder still, this dood's barely older than me. IF he would have taken care of shit in the beginning, or his parents (who miraculously are concerned NOW) would have smacked him upside the head with a glucometer when he was younger, he might not be in this mess...
