A Fun Conversation

"I'm thirsty all the time and I urinate five times a day. Does that mean I'm diabetic?" she asked.

"Have you had your blood sugar checked?" I responded.

"I'm thirsty all the time and I urinate five times a day. Does that mean I'm diabetic?" she asked, apparently not listening to the question I asked to try and help her.

"Have you been to the doctor?" I ask. I'm ruling out Type 1 diabetes by her age but I do want to help her.

"I'm thirsty all the time and I urinate five times a day. Does that mean I'm diabetic?" she asked again. 

At this point I'm thinking maybe something is not right upstairs.

"Not necessarily," I respond.

"I'm thirsty all the time and I urinate five times a day. Does that mean I'm diabetic?" she asked again.

"No." I respond.

Lady walks away. I think diabetes shouldn't be first on her things to worry about.
