I'm I the only one around here that doesnt find giant candy funny?

[–]InsanitySK 5 points6 points ago

[–]DrunkmanDoodoo 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one around here who doesn't get diabetes from pictures of candy?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Lucky for you, you don't have to get a circumcision.

[–]abbott_costello 16 points17 points ago

From Diabetes.org:

Myth: Eating too much sugar causes diabetes.

Fact: No, it does not. Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetics and unknown factors that trigger the onset of the disease; type 2 diabetes is caused by genetics and lifestyle factors. Being overweight does increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes, and a diet high in calories, whether from sugar or from fat, can contribute to weight gain. If you have a history of diabetes in your family, eating a healthy meal plan and regular exercise are recommended to manage your weight.

Unfortunately for me I ate a diet of Snickers with amazing health but God wanted lols. I got type 1.

[–]Provenzer0 0 points1 point ago

well, who are you Abbott or Costello? You can't be both.

[–]abbott_costello 0 points1 point ago

I wanted to make it Abbott&Costello, but it was taken. So I changed it to an underscore.

[–]Provenzer0 0 points1 point ago

how about Abbott_&_Costello?

[–]abbott_costello 0 points1 point ago

ehh, would've worked. But I like combining the two names. It kind of shows, to me at least, how they were best when they were together.

[–]Provenzer0 0 points1 point ago

Not sure how old you are but I recently 'forced' my 15 year old son to watch Abbott & Costello Meet The Mummy and within 5 minutes he was cracking up and in love with the duo. Good stuff.

[–]abbott_costello 0 points1 point ago

I'm 17 but I started watching them when I was about 12. My mom was watching A&C Meet Frankenstein and I decided to watch it with her because it was late and I was bored. I was hooked right from the get-go, and since then have seen almost all of their movies and all of their TV episodes. They were remarkable and an very under appreciated by the current generation in my mind.

I'm really happy to hear about your son, too. Sometimes all they have to do is sit down and watch.

[–]Provenzer0 0 points1 point ago

About 2 years ago I got both of my kids (9 and 13 at the time) totally hooked on The 3 Stooges! It makes for great mornings on the weekends!

[–]abbott_costello 0 points1 point ago

They're awesome as well!

[–]chocokel 40 points41 points ago

This is getting downvoted because it is not specifying that only type 2 diabetes can be caused by an exorbitant amount of carbs. Thus perpetuating the misconception diabetes itself is caused by bad choices instead of being genetically predisposed to it.

[–]meyouandmyfriends 9 points10 points ago

You are all invited to /r/diabetes

[–]TrippingBackwards 4 points5 points ago

It's a god damn party in there.

[–]DiabeticKid 3 points4 points ago

[–]DiabeticKid 6 points7 points ago

Type 1 diabetic checking in.

[–]r3y1a1n 24 points25 points ago

To the top!! Came here to say the same. As a type 1, it infuriates me that people think I have self inflicted this disease upon myself.

I regularly receive a "serves your right for making poor choices" due to assholes spreading misconceptions like this. It runs in the family and I was dealt a shitty hand. Thank you!

[–]TheDoctor2332 13 points14 points ago

I am type 1 also, and I approve this message.

[–]Artums 10 points11 points ago

I am also type 1, and I approve this approved message.

[–]GiantsNut57 10 points11 points ago

I am also type 1 and I too approve this message

[–]tehbertl 9 points10 points ago

I am a type 1 also, and I am happy to either ride or put a stop to this karma train.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

I am type 1 and a caboose and passenger of this karma train. Edit: grammar

[–]Kateskool 7 points8 points ago

I'm type 1 also, and now I'm the caboose of the karma train

[–]Bigghairybutt 9 points10 points ago

Nah man, I'm the caboose

Edit: I should mention, I'm also type 1

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

Close but no cigar.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I'm type 1 also, and now I'm multiple passengers and a caboose.

[–]Knotwood -3 points-2 points ago

I typed 1 and have no diabetes for this train.

[–]no_time_for_pooping 1 point2 points ago

I am type one and I approve this message

[–]Provenzer0 1 point2 points ago

I came here to say this, but in a less formal manner.

[–]sirbruce 2 points3 points ago

Really; sugar doesn't cause diabetes, people.

[–]Provenzer0 4 points5 points ago

I like how all of the T1s are speaking up on this stuff. I am not diabetic but my daughter is T1 and there is a need for education.

Avatar State YIP YIP!

[–]youregoingtoloveme 9 points10 points ago

Sweet... Salty... Sour... Savory. Long ago, the four flavors lived in harmony. But everything changed when the diabeetus attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four flavors, could stop it. But, when the world needed him most, he vanished. Many test strips passed and Liberty Medical discovered the new Avatar, an elderly man named Wilford. And although his acting skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe that Wilford can save the world.

[–]YepYepImaRep 0 points1 point ago

Five flavors. Don't forget savory/umami

[–]mattindustries 0 points1 point ago

Sidenote: Salt with chocolate is AMAZING.

[–]groupgasm 0 points1 point ago

I came here to see if anyone made an avatar comment and was not disappointed

[–]DIABEETICHONEYBADGER 1 point2 points ago

But candy didn't give me diabeetus

[–]DiabeetusMan 1 point2 points ago

As a diabeetus...

Yep, that'll do it

(Type II, that is)

[–]DrOmnyx 3 points4 points ago

As a Type I, I thank you for clarifying, DiabeetusMan!

[–]DiezThunderlance -3 points-2 points ago

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.

[–]CoreyClarkYC93 -2 points-1 points ago

Damnit, beat me to the punch.

[–]Dicktremain -1 points0 points ago

I forget, is Wilford Brimley related to Teddy Roosevelt?

[–]DiabeetusMan -1 points0 points ago

Shit, they're not the same person?

[–]millenseed -1 points0 points ago

[–]Fah-Q78 -4 points-3 points ago

I used to work at a car wash out of high school and I had to detail that fleshlings vehicle.

YOUR COMMENT AND OP'S POST ARE SO FUNNY. WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO BE SO FUNNY?!?!!?

SO FRESH AND SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO CHOKE YOU GUYS.

[–]MadaCheeb -2 points-1 points ago

I am assuming direct control.... of your pancreas.

[–]OUohya -5 points-4 points ago

Hi, I'm Wilford Brimley and I would like to talk to you about diabeetus

[–]I_Have_Candy -2 points-1 points ago

I love candy!

[–]ActivaLaChica -2 points-1 points ago

'Mercia!

[–]Ronald_McFondlled -2 points-1 points ago

i cannot for the life of me find this damn candy post.

[–]TheBrownLion -3 points-2 points ago

This image makes me uncomfortable

[–]zoonkers -3 points-2 points ago

When you eat giant candybars and the only walking you do is to your car, Diabeetus! Diabettus!

[–]Haptick -4 points-3 points ago

Those eyes...must...check...my.......blooood!

Upvote for username. Classic YouTube hit.

[–]hells_cowbells -4 points-3 points ago

All this candy stuff is boring. I'm waiting on the river of chocolate with the creepy boat ride on it.

[–]too_many_penises -5 points-4 points ago

All of this giant candy has gotten me thinking about one thing......

Time to exploit an old meme and abuse ellipses?

[–]panzerschrek -5 points-4 points ago

Can you make a 1920x1080 res version of this for my desktop?

[–]GiveMeLight -5 points-4 points ago

I don't know why I laughed so hard at this picture.
