The following post is based on the 1970's/ 80's Dr Pepper commercial where the dude from An American Werewolf in London sings: I drink Dr. Pepper cause I'm Proud
I used to be alone in a crowd...."
I used to be alone in a crowd...."
Anyway- I gave it a diabetes spin- Hope you like it!!
SO, I was going over my whole Type 1 family history in my head the other day......
I'm a T1
MY Dad was a T1
My sister Donna is a T1
My sister Debbie was a T1 and died because of it
My Aunt Pat was a T1
My Aunt Jo-Anne was a T1 and died because of it
My cousin Bernadette is a T1
My cousin Denise is a T1 - I think
My Nephew Brendon is a T1
My mother's Grand Mother was a T1
My mother's uncle was a T2 - she thinks - he might have been T1 but for the life of her she can't remember because he died like 50 years ago.
I start humming the theme to the Dr. Pepper Commercial from the 1970's.
You know the one, where the dark haired guy is by himself and starts to sing: "
At the end of the commercial he's dancing and singing with a whole crowd of "hopped up on the Voo Doo Dr. Pepper" freaks.
NOT TO SELF: YOU WATCHED WAY TO MUCH TELEVISION AS A CHILD
I immediately change the words to suite my family history.
