A true story which is very heavy on the karma

Out of all of my friends from grade school, I know these two guys Bill and Ted the best. Since he was very young, Bill has had diabetes, forcing him to have to take shots of insulin every night. In case you didn't know, this means that his pancreas does not produce the amount of insulin needed for his body to process its own glucose.

Our relationship as friends has always included a lot of casual insults, the kinds you can make to close friends without feeling too much guilt. For a long time, Ted has made fun of Bill's diabetes, referencing his "lazy pancreas" as well as other comments of that sort. Although I'm slightly ashamed to say that I've joined in a few times, Ted really instigated it almost all of the time.

Yesterday, Ted got back from the doctor's. There's a very high possibility that he has hypoglycemia, which, in short, means that his pancreas is producing too much insulin, the opposite of the condition he's been mocking Bill for having for so many years.

Edit: Their names aren't really Bill and Ted and this is not an excellent nor is it a bogus adventure.

They should trade half of their pancreas with the other guy. Voila! normal insulin levels for both!

Too bad Bill and Ted can't come together half way and share their medical problems.

I have diabetes and use an insulin pump. I love it. Way cheaper than shots. I've never had anyone call me "lazy pancreas" but that would be funny. I always refer to myself as an arachnid as I have to inject something in order to be able to eat.

Just don't let Ted pig out on Little Debbies in front of Bill. Now that's just plain mean.
