#DiabetesFact

So it started on simply enough, I was bored at my freelance job, so I started tweeting “little known diabetes facts:"

Little known #diabetes fact: Diabetes does indeed make you better at math- whether you want to be or not

Little known #Diabetes fact: Fiber is our friend~

Little known diabetes fact: Cupcakes are MUCH easier to bolus for than pasta- It's true!

Little known diabetes fact: It is possible to test your blood sugar & do a correction bolus before the red light changes to green~

Then folks started retweeting them and Karen over at Bittersweet, gave her retweet a hashtag #Diabetesfact.

So once the hashtag was created,I couldn’t stop!

The following tweets are what followed. Those with Just the #diabetesfact are attributed to yours truly, and those with a name are contributed by other great minds of the DOC.

All are ring true and a more than a few will make you chuckle!
