As A Diabetic, I Know I Wouldn’t Survive A Zombie Apocalypse

Notes from the Type 2 Diabetic Diaries

Before I begin, this goes for anyone with a chronic illness, but especially diabetics.

I’m watching Zom 100 right now, which is about a young man who hates his job and feels like a zombie, until one day a real zombie apocalypse happens and he and his closest friends are running for their lives. It is a constant run, fight, run, fight pattern — and it is tiring.

Cue in us diabetics (I hate the term diabetic…we are human, but I’ll use the term for the sake of writing).
