I was walking down the hallway and ran into a colleague I haven’t seen in months.

“You are thin!” she yelled. “Wow, you are thin! What happened?”

I’m not in the least thin but definitely much thinner than I’ve been in a very long time. The funny part is that I have never in my life eaten as much and as often as since I became a diabetic. But since the food includes almost no carbs, I’m deflating.

I never thought I would say this but I’m really tired of all this eating. Especially since none of the stuff I’m constantly eating is the kind of stuff I want to be eating.

It’s also annoying that everybody will now think the weight loss is a result of meds and not an eminently respectable chronic illness.

The previous sentence is supposed to be a joke, in case it’s not clear.
