I've had excellent health until, all of a sudden, I got diabetes. Boom...from out of nowhere at age 43. While they tried to determine if it was Type 1 (the worst one) or Type 2 (the manageable one), I had to immediately begin giving myself insulin shots into my stomach. Fucking freaked me out, since I've never given a shot before...especially not to myself in my STOMACH.
It would be a few days until she told me if I was Type 1 or 2, so they said absolutely no sugar, booze, or starches until my blood sugar numbers dropped to safer levels and the results came back. The brought in tons of literature, about 90% food related, and discussed in-depth with me about foods that I need to avoid and the dangers they cause.
When the dr. told me all of this, I said...tongue-in-cheek, yet seriously..."What about swallowing cum?" She just stared at me blankly. I followed up "I mean...some guys I've given head to have had very sweet cum and I read that it was their recent or heavy sugar intake that day, so I need to know how far I should take this drastic diet change." She said (are you ready for this?)...."Perhaps you should try Google for that information or ask a nutritionist. They didn't teach me that in medical school."
I laughed out loud (a literal lol) because it was pretty fucking funny....until I realized that her facial expression was not one of amusement, then she quickly got up, mumbled something about getting me a referral for a dietitian and that I'd be hearing back on my test results soon and she was outta' there!
She already knew that I'm gay, so it couldn't have been the shock of that or that she thought I was some straight dude making some really bad pass at her. Was I really that out of line?
When I called my doc in Seattle and told her the story, she said that I'm getting older and the facials would do me good. Ha! I love that woman
